The UFC last held an event in London in July 2023, where Britain's Tom Aspinall knocked out Marcin Tybura on his return from injury. Aspinall, 31, is the UFC interim heavyweight champion and is the backup fighter for Saturday's championship bout between Jon Jones and Stipe Miocic.

The promotion announced that a UFC Fight Night event will take place March 22 at The O2 in London. No bouts were included with the announcement. Lightweight contender Renato Moicano wasted no time calling for a UFC London main event between himself and Paddy Pimblett on X. The two have gone back-and-forth about a potential fight in recent weeks.

The UFC returns to Las Vegas this Saturday for its centennial Fight Night event at the UFC Apex, and MMA KO’s Drew Beaupré is here to predict every matchup.
