Leon Edwards vs. Sean Brady

Round 1 – Brady comes out throwing in a hurry and takes the center of the cage. He hits a combo, then pushes forward again with more. Edwards is backing up for the first minute and playing defense looking to counter. Brady lands a right, but Edwards counters with a solid body kick. They tie up briefly, but there’s not much to it. Edwards looks pretty calm on the outside. He’s got length and reach to his advantage, but two minutes in it’s a big combination from Brady that is the best of the fight so far. With 90 seconds left in the round, Brady pushes Edwards to the fence for the first true wrestling encounter in the fight. Edwards reverses things and they pivot off the fence to the center of the cage and Brady lands a trip takedown. There’s no damage down the stretch, but it helps score points.

MMA Junkie scores the round 10-9, Brady

Round 2 – Brady shoots for a takedown immediately. Like, faster than immediately if that’s possible. It’s not super clean, but it keeps Edwards off guard long enough he eventually has the fight to the canvas. This is Brady’s element, and he starts in half-guard. He quickly transitions around, though, and he’s got the back. Soon after, he gets the body triangle tightened up, and there’s more than three minutes for him to work. Edwards is strictly defensive at this point and he’ll have to fend off rear-naked choke attempts and short punches to the head. Edwards tries to fire backward elbows, and with two minutes left he forces a scramble and at least gets out of the triangle. Brady moves to half-guard, then looks for a kimura on Edwards’ right arm. Edwards is in a lot of trouble, but he defends nicely. With 45 seconds left, Brady takes his back for a few, then scrambles back to the top for some late ground-and-pound.

MMA Junkie scores the round 10-9, Brady

Round 3 – After a minute of slow playing, Edwards shoots a seriously ill-advised takedown attempt. It’s not a particularly good one, and he gives his neck to Brady on a silver platter. Brady gets it to the canvas and gets to full mount. Edwards stays defensive and tries to work his way back to his feet while Brady tries to find his way back to another submission attempt. Edwards is back to his back with Brady on top looking for ground-and-pound. It’s all control for Brady. There’s not incredibly damaging shots, but he’s trading between enough to be annoying and looking for that finish. It’s another easy round for Brady.

MMA Junkie scores the round 10-9, Brady

Round 4 – Brady easily gets his arms around Edwards and scoops him up for a double-leg takedown. And very seriously, with more than four minutes left in the round, the London fans are heading for the exits with their home country favorite dominating. And from the top, just seconds later, Brady locks up a single-arm guillotine choke from up top, and it’s tight … and it’s over. Insanely big win for Brady, and it was dominant from start to finish – like, it wasn’t ever close.

Jan Blachowicz vs. Carlos Ulberg

Round 1 – Ulberg works on the outside looking for an opening. He’s light on his feet and throws a couple quick left crosses to open the striking. Blachowicz presses forward and appears to be looking to find a spot to impose some power early. Ulberg looks patient 90 seconds in and pretty easily dances away from some jabs. He throws a solid leg kick, then a big left hand behind it that Blachowicz reacts to. Blachowicz responds with a leg kick of his own, then another midway through the round. More kicks to the lead leg for Blachowicz, who has used that to his benefit in the past. Blachowicz kicks high, but it’s blocked. Ulberg gets off a combination, but they trade some heavy kicks to the shins. Blachowicz misses with a high kick again. Neither landed a killer shot, but Blachowicz takes a close 10-9 round on the unofficial Junkie card based on the forward movement and activity.

Round 2 – There’s no real pick-up in pace in the second. They trade low leg kicks, looking for openings. Never is there more than a couple pops at a time, perhaps owing to how critical a win is for each fighter. Neither seems willing to take a big enough risk to get in trouble, which makes the round again a tough one to score. Flip a coin.

MMA Junkie scores the round 10-9, Ulberg

Round 3 – Who will be the first one to truly take a chance? The activity seems decidedly picked up in the first minute, and a minute in, Ulberg shoots for a takedown. Blachowicz rather easily stuffs it, then goes back to kicking. Statistically, the fight is very close. It hasn’t been sexy. It hasn’t been Fight of the Night quality. And for someone who normally throws with high volume, Ulberg has scaled way back. Midway through the final round, it’s just as even as the first 10 minutes. Blachowicz comes forward with power and maybe looks more fatigued – maybe? But if that’s the case, Ulberg isn’t taking advantage. He lands a good right, though, and some leg kicks. With 90 seconds left, someone still needs to do something to steal this thing. BLachowicz tries a takedown, but it’s not there. With a minute left, the crowd seems to want a brawl. Blachowicz tries some big power late to get the judges’ attention and a jumping kick. Honestly, it’s close, but if it’s all even everywhere, it seemed like Blachowicz did just a little more. Again, who knows.

UFC Fight Night 255 results: Carlos Ulberg outpoints ex-champ Jan Blachowicz for 8th straight win

Carlos Ulberg called for a title shot after beating former champ Jan Blachowicz for his eight straight win at UFC London.

[autotag]Carlos Ulberg[/autotag] spoiled the octagon return of former champion [autotag]Jan Blachowicz[/autotag] to continue his winning streak in the UFC Fight Night 255 co-main event.

After injuries kept him out of action since July 2023, former light heavyweight champion Blachowicz (29-11-1 MMA, 12-8-1 UFC) stepped back in the cage and went three rounds against surging contender Ulberg (12-1 MMA, 7-1 UFC), who was declared the winner by unanimous decision after three rounds of competitive striking exchanges over the course of 15 minutes.

[lawrence-related id=2812288]

The scorecards were 29-28, 29-28 and 29-28 in Ulberg’s favor, and he’s now riding a run of eight consecutive victories dating back to February 2022.

Blachowicz showed minimal rust from the layoff in the rather uneventful opening round. He landed solid counters and his trademark leg kicks to keep Ulberg at bay and his output low.

It was more of the same for the majority of the second frame. The commentary team urged both sides to make bigger commitments in the striking exchanges, and in the instances it happened, the excitement and success for both sides was there.

With the fight hanging in the balance going into the final frame, both men were largely content with trading leg kicks, jabs and the occasional combination until time expired and the judges were forced to determine a winner.

That man was Ulberg, and he pleaded for a title shot at 205 pounds.

“Obviously the longest win streak in the light heavyweight division, so the only thing left for me is a title shot for me,” Ulberg said in his post-fight interview with Michael Bisping. “And that’s all that matters,”

With the defeat, Blachowicz is now on a three-fight losing skid for the first time and the 42-year-old hasn’t had his hand raised since May 2022.

UFC London: Jamahal Hill doubts Jan Blachowicz will be able to bully Carlos Ulberg to the ground

Jamahal Hill doesn’t see Jan Blachowicz having too much success grappling Carlos Ulberg at UFC Fight Night 255.

[autotag]Jamahal Hill[/autotag] doesn’t see [autotag]Jan Blachowicz[/autotag] having too much success grappling [autotag]Carlos Ulberg[/autotag] at UFC Fight Night 255.

Former champion Blachowicz (29-10-1 MMA, 12-7-1 UFC) meets rising light heavyweight contender Ulberg (12-1 MMA, 7-1 UFC) in Saturday’s co-main event at The O2 (ESPN+).

Blachowicz used his wrestling to beat Ulberg’s City Kickboxing teammate Israel Adesanya at UFC 259, where he was able to land three takedowns en route to a unanimous decision win. However, Hill is confident that Ulberg’s takedown defense will hold up.

“I don’t think that Jan is just going to be able to just go in and bully Ulberg to the ground,” Hill said on his YouTube channel. “I believe he’s had a lot of work and he’s showed some good prestige as far as the ground goes. Plus, he’s more athletic, he’s younger, he’s got a lot more bounce in his legs.

“I believe that it’ll be hard to keep him down – if he can get him down. That’s how Blachowicz should try to approach it: Leg kicks, possibly try to get him to the ground, and work from the top position there. But Ulberg standing, his package is kind of wide open. Also, Ulberg body kicks – body kicks for both.”

Blachowicz will look to rebound after a split draw against current UFC light heavyweight champion Magomed Ankalaev, followed by a split decision loss to ex-champ Alex Pereira. Meanwhile, Ulberg is on a seven-fight winning streak, with five of those wins coming by finish.

Jan Blachowicz vs. Carlos Ulberg prediction, pick, start time for UFC Fight Night 255

Carlos Ulberg has seven straight wins at light heavyweight, but one over ex-champ Jan Blachowicz at UFC London would be his biggest yet.

Jan Blachowicz and Carlos Ulberg meet Saturday on the main card of UFC Fight Night 255 at The O2 in London. Check out this quick breakdown of the matchup from MMA Junkie analyst Dan Tom.
Last event: 2-4

Jan Blachowicz vs. Carlos Ulberg UFC London preview

Former light heavyweight champion Blachowicz (29-10-1 MMA, 12-7-1 UFC) is back for the first time in around 20 months. He was set to retun from a split decision loss to Alex Pereira in January 2024, but was sidelined by a shoulder surgery. He’s looking for his first win since May 2022. … Ulberg (12-1 MMA, 7-1 UFC) dropped his UFC debut in a Fight of the Night winner, but hasn’t looked back. He’s on a seven-fight winning streak to get into contention. He’s had fights against ex-champ Jamahal Hill and former title challengers Anthony Smith and Dominick Reyes scrapped – over whom wins would’ve done wonders for his title hopes. A win over an ex-champ like Blachowicz would be his biggest one yet.

Jan Blachowicz vs. Carlos Ulberg UFC London expert pick, prediction

The co-main event in London features a potential crossroads fight at light heavyweight between [autotag]Jan Blachowicz[/autotag] and [autotag]Carlos Ulberg[/autotag].

Despite Blachowicz’s rich history as coming through as an underdog in the UFC, I have a hard time getting my hopes too high for a 42-year-old coming off a 20-month layoff. More importantly, from a stylistic perspective, I’m not sure how much play Blachowicz’s takedowns will have considering the glimpses of improvements we’ve seen from Ulberg.

Not only does Ulberg have the athletic sprawl you’d expect from his first layer of defense, but the City Kickboxing product is also good about circling off of his sprawls and underhooks so that he can get back to the center of the cage.

Ulberg also showed some solid offensive looks and a natural aptitude for topside offense in his fight with Da Woon Jung, so don’t be shocked to see the New Zealand native attempt to flip the script on the former champ.

Although part of me will be cheering for the Pole, I’m officially predicting a statement performance from Ulberg that’s sparked off by the speed of his lead hand. The pick is Ulberg by knockout in Round 1.

Jiri Prochazka open to facing winner of Jan Blachowicz vs. Carlos Ulberg at UFC London

Jiri Prochazka will have his eyes peeled for the UFC Fight Night 255 co-main event.

[autotag]Jiri Prochazka[/autotag] will have his eyes peeled for the UFC Fight Night 255 co-main event.

[autotag]Jan Blachowicz[/autotag] (29-10-1 MMA, 12-7-1 UFC) meets rising contender [autotag]Carlos Ulberg[/autotag] (12-1 MMA, 7-1 UFC) in a pivotal light heavyweight clash Saturday at The O2 (ESPN+).

Originally eyeing a title shot next, Prochazka’s plans pivoted after all signs are pointing to a title-fight rematch between champion Magomed Ankalaev (21-1-1 MMA, 12-1-1 UFC) and Alex Pereira (12-3 MMA, 9-2 UFC).

Prochazka (31-5-1 MMA, 5-2 UFC), who’s coming off a knockout of Jamahal Hill at UFC 311 in January, wants to stay busy and thinks the winner of Blachowicz vs. Ulberg makes sense for him next.

“I’m just looking for a good fight,” Prochazka told The Schmo. “But after today’s information, like Alex and Ankalaev, they’re already confirmed their fight. I don’t want to just stay and watch them and wait for the winner. Maybe I will fight with one of these guys with the winner from Saturday night. So let’s see who will be the winner. Let the better (man) win.”

After three title defenses over Jamahal Hill, Prochazka, and Khalil Rountree, Pereira  lost his light heavyweight title to Ankalaev by unanimous decision at UFC 313. Prochazka has no issues with “Poatan” getting an immediate rematch.

“I think for Alex, it’s right,” Prochazka said. “He has to have the first chance to – he deserves that, to fight against the champion right after. But still, I think he needs a little bit of time to refresh himself and take a little bit of time to upgrade his style, upgrade a few things, and win the battle.”

Carlos Ulberg thinks beating Jan Blachowicz at UFC Fight Night 255 would merit title shot

Carlos Ulberg expects to emerge as No. 1 contender in the light heavyweight division with a win at UFC London.

LONDON – [autotag]Carlos Ulberg[/autotag] expects to emerge as No. 1 contender with a win at UFC Fight Night 255.

Ulberg (12-1 MMA, 7-1 UFC) faces former UFC light heavyweight champion [autotag]Jan Blachowicz[/autotag] (29-10-1 MMA, 12-7-1 UFC) in Saturday’s co-main event (ESPN+) at The O2 in London.

With the division light on clear-cut contenders, it appears the UFC will book an immediate rematch between champion Magomed Ankalaev and Alex Pereira. However, the streaking Ulberg thinks a win over Blachowicz warrants a title shot.

“When you look at it, you’ve got someone who’s on a seven-fight win streak, the most in the light heavyweight division so far,” Ulberg told reporters, including MMA Junkie, at UFC Fight Night 255 media day. “So, very exciting, and I think everyone would be merited for a title shot after this.”

Ulberg knows he’s up against a stern test in Blachowicz, who went the distance with both Ankalaev and Pereira.

“Jan is a very well established and experienced fighter,” Ulberg said. “We got to make sure we go in there and get the job done. That’s all that matters.”

The City Kickboxing fighter was then asked who he’d rather fight with a win over Blachowicz: Ankalaev or Pereira?

“Pereira is obviously a very dominant fighter and a champion as he’s been, and that would be a massive fight,” Ulberg said. “I’ve always said that a fight between myself and Pereira would be massive, just two cultured warriors to go up against each other. Also with that said notably, Ankalaev, he is dominant. He is someone that a lot of fighters would dodge. So, a win against Ankalaev would definitely shoot me past anyone. Either one would be great for me.”

Jan Blachowicz before UFC Fight Night 255: ‘I’ve still got the fire inside me’

Jan Blachowicz plans on reminding everyone of his legendary Polish power at UFC London.

LONDON – [autotag]Jan Blachowicz[/autotag] plans on reminding everyone of his legendary Polish power at UFC Fight Night 255.

Blachowicz (29-10-1 MMA, 12-7-1 UFC) meets rising contender [autotag]Carlos Ulberg[/autotag] (12-1 MMA, 7-1 UFC) in Saturday’s co-main event at The O2 (ESPN+).

Ulberg is a staple at the City Kickboxing gym in New Zealand, and has finished five of his past six opponents. However, former champion Blachowicz says there’s nothing he hasn’t seen in the octagon.

“He’s a kickboxer, very good kickboxer,” Blachowicz told reporters, including MMA Junkie, at UFC Fight Night 255 media day. “Good left hand, very fast, good movement on the feet, but I’ve got very big experience, and I feel everything inside the octagon.

“So, it’s another fighter I have to beat, and that’s it. All respect to him. I have to be careful all the time, but I feel everything. I also have some questions, and I’m going to have answers Saturday, and I’m waiting for that.”

Blachowicz won’t rule out wrestling in this fight but sees himself stopping Ulberg on the feet.

“In my head, visualization training is third-round KO,” Blachowicz said.

Blachowicz has his sights set on a potential rematch with either UFC light heavyweight champion Magomed Ankalaev or former champ Alex Pereira with a win. He might be 42 coming off of a layoff, but Blachowicz says his motivation hasn’t wavered – and he’s ready to show he’s still elite.

“I see keys in standup, also in wrestling, also in jiu-jitsu,” Blachowicz said of his fight vs. Ulberg. “So, I just have to find a hole in the fight and use it. I’m ready for that. With all respect to him, he’s a good kickboxer, good fighter, but I think I’m better in every part of the fight. Even experience is on my side. He’s younger. For sure, this is on his side, but I’ve still got the fire inside me, and you’re going to see it on Saturday.”

Jan Blachowicz plans to steal Alex Pereira’s title rematch with Magomed Ankalaev at UFC Fight Night 255

Jan Blachowicz urges the UFC brass not to pencil in Magomed Ankalaev vs. Alex Pereira 2 until after UFC London.

[autotag]Jan Blachowicz[/autotag] is urging the UFC brass not to pencil in Magomed Ankalaev vs. Alex Pereira 2 as the next light heavyweight title fight until after UFC Fight Night 255.

Former 205-pound champion Blachowicz (29-10-1 MMA, 12-7-1 UFC) returns from a career-long layoff in Saturday’s co-main event when he takes on surging contender Carlos Ulberg at The O2 in London (ESPN+) in a fight with significant implications on the upper tier of the weight class.

There was a solid chance the winner would be at the front of the line for a title shot until the landscape of the weight class shifted earlier this month when Ankalaev took the belt from Pereira at UFC 313. All signs point to an immediate rematch, with UFC CEO Dana White stating it would “probably” happen next, while Ankalaev called for it as recently at Tuesday morning.

Blachowicz has rematch desires of his own, however. After fighting Ankalaev to a split draw in a vacant championship bout at UFC 282 in December 2022, he intends to change the narrative with his performance.

“I will make everything to change this on Saturday. After my win against Ulberg, I’m going to change this and I believe after I beat Carlos and I’m going to be next contender for the title.”

Although Blachowicz hasn’t seen action since July 2023, and spent much of his hiatus recovering from a career-threatening shoulder surgery, he said he is feeling healthy and confident he will pick up right where he left off.

Blachowicz, 42, thinks Ulberg (10-1 MMA, 7-1 UFC) is matchup suited well for him to return to, as well. The City Kickboxing fighter is riding a seven-fight winning streak in the division and is looking to take his career to the next level.

The situation reminds Blachowicz of when he faced the then-undefeated Israel Adesanya in March 2021 and handed him his first MMA loss. Ulberg comes from the same team, and Blachowicz expects the same result.

“We do a great job with my team,” Blachowicz said. “Every fighter and every fight is a little bit different, so I have to be ready for a completely different fighter than Adesanya. But I think we’ve got a plan for him and it’s going to be a good plan. We’ve got plan, but I also know how to feel the moment and go in there and fight.

“I believe in that, I will do everything I can to knock him out.”
