Leon Edwards makes his first Octagon appearance since losing his UFC welterweight crown last July as he takes on Sean Brady.
Edwards suffered an upset loss when being out-pointed by Belal Muhammad, and while the judges may have disagreed on who won the first and fifth rounds, there was no disputing that the right man left with the belt around his waist on the night.
Over the years, we've seen a number of fighters lose a title before immediately seeing their career spiral into insignificance and Rocky will be desperate not to befall the same fate.
But if he's to fight for a title again he'll need to get past Brady with the odds stacked against him. The American is the favourite to win on Saturday night in London with his only career defeat coming against the man who took the title from Edwards.
The match-up may not be ideal for Edwards having just been beaten by a grappler. Over the years we've seen Edwards' superb cardio earn him a number of decision wins, though he's rarely been able to stop opponents. Similarly, Brady is a black belt in Brazilian jiu-jitsu, and if he's to stop this fight inside the 25 minutes, it will likely be on the ground.
