Edwards gets Brady & Pimblett fights Chandler in UFC reshuffle
Britain's Leon Edwards will face American Sean Brady in the main event at UFC London on 22 March after a big reshuffle by the organisation.
Edwards' original opponent Jack Della Maddalena will take on Belal Muhammad for the welterweight title at UFC 315 in Quebec, Canada on 10 May.
Elsewhere, fellow Briton Paddy Pimblett will face American lightweight Michael Chandler in the co-main event at UFC 314 in Miami, Florida on 12 April.
That card is topped by a featherweight title fight between Australian Alexander Volkanovski and Brazil's Diego Lopes after Ilia Topuria vacated his belt.
UFC president Dana White announced the changes on social media, adding that Spain's Topuria is moving up to lightweight because he feels he has "cemented his legacy" at featherweight.
The co-main event at UFC 315 will feature Kyrgyzstan-born flyweight champion Valentina Shevchenko defending her belt against France's Manon Fiorot.
Birmingham's Edwards, 33, will be looking to bounce back from his defeat by American Muhammad last July.
Australia's Della Maddalena has been selected to face Muhammad because number one contender Shavkat Rakhmonov is injured.
Edwards' new opponent Brady, 32, is on a two-fight winning run, with his last fight coming against Brazil's Gilbert Burns in September.
Liverpool's Pimblett, meanwhile, is looking to extend his six-fight unbeaten streak in the UFC.
The 30-year-old last fought in July, earning an impressive win over American Bobby Green.
The UFC has also announced the signing of former Bellator featherweight and lightweight champion Patricio 'Pitbull' Freire.
The Brazilian, 37, was released by the PFL after he publicly criticised the promotion in January, and will make his debut against Mexico's Yair Rodriguez at UFC 314.
