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.
