The UFC has officially announced its return to London with a Fight Night at The O2 Arena on March 22, 2025.
In 2024, the UFC hosted only one event in England, held in Manchester, where Belal Muhammad defeated Leon Edwards at UFC 305.
British fighters such as Tom Aspinall, Paddy Pimblett, and Arnold Allen also participated in the Manchester card, showcasing the UK’s talent in the UFC.
The upcoming event will mark UFC’s 30th visit to the United Kingdom. The last London event was UFC Fight Night 224 in July 2023, where Tom Aspinall knocked out Marcin Tybura in the first round.
Aspinall, currently holding the interim heavyweight title, has recently called out Jon Jones. However, Jones stated that Aspinall is not on his radar as he prepares to face Stipe Miocic at UFC 309 in New York.
