Background
The event marked the promotion's 16th visit to London and first since UFC Fight Night: Aspinall vs. Tybura in July 2023.[3]
A welterweight bout between former UFC Welterweight Champion Leon Edwards and Jack Della Maddalena was originally scheduled to headline the event.[4] However, Della Maddalena was pulled from the contest in order to face current welterweight champion Belal Muhammad at UFC 315 and was replaced by Sean Brady.[5]
A light heavyweight bout between Alonzo Menifield and Oumar Sy was scheduled for this event.[6] However, Sy withdrew from the fight due to an injury, so Menifield was moved to UFC Fight Night: Cejudo vs. Song in February against promotional newcomer Julius Walker.[7]
A women's strawweight bout between Molly McCann and Istela Nunes was scheduled for this event.[8] However, Nunes withdrew from the fight for unknown reasons and was replaced by promotional newcomer Alexia Thainara.[9]
