Leon Edwards will make his Octagon return when facing Sean Brady at UFC London in March.
Edwards hasn't been seen since his shock defeat to Belal Muhammad when defending his UFC welterweight title in Manchester last July and makes his comeback against Brady, whose only MMA defeat came to Muhammad.
Edwards was initially billed to face Jack Della Maddalena, but the Australian has been bumped up to face Muhammad in a title fight, with Brady the replacement.

Leon Edwards record
22-4 (1 NC)
A loss in his UFC debut saw Leon Edwards fall to 8-2, before losing his third fight to Kamaru Usman. From there, Edwards went unbeaten for nearly nine years with a no contest against Belal Muhammad after an accidental eye poke, including wins over Usman (twice), Colby Covington and Nate Diaz.
Sean Brady record
17-1
After reaching 8-0, Sean Brady earned a UFC contract where he'd extend his unbeaten record to 15-0 before losing via TKO to Belal Muhammad.
Brady has beaten Kelvin Gastelum and Gilbert Burns in his following two fights, and may be one win away from a title shot.
