After a year away, the UFC is finally set to return to London.
London is set to host a UFC Fight Night event at The O2 arena on March 22, 2025, the organization announced Tuesday.
Details about the card and fighters were not announced. However, England currently has 18 athletes on the UFC roster including interim heavyweight champion Tom Aspinall, giving the promotion a wide range of possibilities to get the home crowd energized.
The UFC hosted two events at the O2 in London in 2023 — UFC 286: Edwards vs. Usman 3 and UFC Fight Night: Aspinall vs. Tybura.
The last event in the United Kingdom was UFC 304 in Manchester earlier this year, when Belal Muhammad beat hometown favourite Leon Edwards for the welterweight title.
In all, this will be the 30th UFC event the United Kingdom has hosted.
