The UFC is set to host a Fight Night event at London’s O2 Arena on March 21, 2026.
No fights have yet been confirmed for the card, which will be UFC’s first London event since March 2025.
Sean Brady submitted Leon Edwards in an all-English headline bout on the night in front of a sold-out crowd - the highest-grossing night in UFC history.
Also fighting that night were hometown heroes Chris Duncan and Nathaniel Wood.
Should another predominantly British card be confirmed, the likes of Lerone Murphy or Jose Delgado have been tipped to feature.
Edwards could also return to the octagon as he aims to arrest a three-fight losing streak, while London-born middleweight Michael Page, not currently signed for a fight after beating Jared Cannonier in August, may return.
Paddy ‘the Baddy’ Pimblett last fought in April 2025, and is also among those tipped to appear.
Speaking exclusively to Standard Sport in September, Pimblett called out Ilia Topuria: “I finish him. It doesn’t go five rounds. I finish him.
“He’s a better boxer than me, and that’s about it. But we’re not boxing, we’re doing MMA striking.
“I’ll kick him all around the cage and when he tries to storm in, I’ll end up taking him down and either elbow his head in until he’s unrecognisable, or choke him.”
Speaking after announcing UFC’s return to London, the organisation’s president Dana White said: “London is one of the premier fight cities in the world. The fans are passionate, the energy is incredible and the last time we were there we broke the highest-grossing Fight Night record in UFC history. London ALWAYS delivers and I can’t wait to get back."
