UFC Confirms London Fight Night Event for March 22

This upcoming event will signify the Ultimate Fighting Championship’s (UFC) thirtieth show to be held within the United Kingdom. The UFC has declared its intention to stage a Fight Night event in London on March 22. The O2 Arena is designated as the venue for the show, though the promotion has not yet disclosed any specific matchups for the card. This marks the organization’s initial event in the UK since British fighter Leon Edwards’ welterweight title defense resulted in a loss to Belal Muhammad at UFC 304 in Manchester during July. The UFC’s most recent London event occurred in July 2023, featuring Britain’s Tom Aspinall securing a knockout victory over Marcin Tybura upon his comeback from injury. Aspinall, aged 31, holds the title of UFC interim heavyweight champion and is designated as the backup fighter for the championship bout scheduled for Saturday between Jon Jones and Stipe Miocic.
