After back-to-back events in Las Vegas, the UFC returned to The O2 Arena in London on Saturday with a spectacular fight night filled with submissions. The most notable was Sean Brady’s victory over Leon Edwards, securing a mounted guillotine submission at 1:39 of Round 4. With this win, Brady earned a significant payday and made a strong statement in the welterweight division.
SportySalaries reported that Sean Brady secured a guaranteed purse of $350,000 for UFC Fight Night 255. If everything went his way, he could earn up to $800,000. Meanwhile, Leon Edwards expected to make $500,000 for the event, but a victory could boost his payout to $1.1 million, including $21,000 from sponsorship deals.
