6/5

Edwards’ confidence remains unshaken despite his loss to Belal Muhammad. He has studied Brady’s style and considers him an ideal opponent. More importantly, Leon sees this fight as a stepping stone back to a title shot.

Edwards will keep his tight elbow guard to defend against Brady’s aggressive striking and will look to dictate the pace with long-range punches. He’ll use lateral movement to create angles, mixing uppercuts, overhands, and mid-range kicks to keep Brady guessing. Edwards has also improved his grappling and will be ready to threaten Brady with submission attempts whenever the fight hits the ground.

7/10

Brady suffered his first career loss against Belal Muhammad but has since evolved his game. He believes he would now beat Muhammad nine times out of ten and is confident heading into this bout.

Brady will rely on low kicks and jabs to control the mid-range before launching quick three-punch combinations to set up a clinch. Once inside, he’ll attempt takedowns, using his strength and positional control to dominate on the ground.

Edwards vs Brady Prediction

Brady will hold his own in striking exchanges but will struggle to handle Edwards' sharp kicks. By round three, the fight could be dead even on the scorecards, with minimal grappling exchanges. As the fight progresses, Brady will look to secure takedowns, but keeping Edwards down will be difficult. Instead, expect him to control the clinch and dictate the fight along the cage. Edwards sees Brady as a mere stepping stone, while Brady fully respects Edwards' abilities and is preparing for the toughest fight of his career. This mental edge could prove decisive, allowing Brady to edge out a close decision victory.
