Mick Parkin’s Match-up Confirmed for UFC London Event

Undefeated British heavyweight Mick Parkin is set to face Poland’s Marcin Tybura at UFC London on March 22. The 29-year-old Parkin has maintained an undefeated record across the first 10 fights of his professional career, including four victories since his UFC debut in 2023, which has propelled him to the 14th spot in the organization’s heavyweight rankings. His opponent, Tybura, aged 39, holds a ranking six spots higher and brings considerable experience, having achieved 13 victories across 21 UFC contests. Parkin, who trains alongside British interim heavyweight champion Tom Aspinall (who defeated Tybura in 2023), last competed in July, securing a knockout win against Lukasz Brzeski. Tybura’s most recent fight took place last month, where he stopped Jhonata Diniz during the second round. Additionally, the UFC confirmed a light-heavyweight match-up featuring Jan Blachowicz from Poland and Carlos Ulberg from New Zealand. As of now, no further fights have been revealed for the event scheduled at the O2 Arena.
