UFC President Dana White has declared the promotion will never book a stadium show in the UK, shutting down Paddy Pimblett's plan for an Anfield fight night.
The Scouse fighter declared that The O2 arena's 17,000 capacity was "too small" after his last win, and pushed for a fight night at his favourite team's stadium. But White believes that the volatility of the UK weather is too big of a risk, and he isn't interested in putting on events of that size in England.
UFC London drew a record-breaking gate, and British fans were praised for providing the greatest atmosphere in the sport since crowds returned after the coronavirus pandemic. And the promotion's boss ripped up their summer schedule to return to UK shores in July, where Pimblett will return against Jordan Leavitt.
