The UFC London fight card has now been finalised for UFC London after the promotion confirmed their return to the British capital for the second time this year. The July 23 card was confirmed last month after UFC president Dana White was blown away by the March 19 card - the first in the UK since 2019.
White named the March 19 card as the greatest Fight Night event in its history - and immediately stated he would make plans to return to the UK this year. White was extremely complimentary over the British crowd and stated that he missed witnessing fights in England.
And whilst initially having no plans to return until 2023, White shuffled events around and has now announced the July 23 card, which will see Tom Aspinall return to action as he takes on explosive heavyweight Curtis Blaydes.
Liverpool stars Paddy Pimblett and Molly McCann will both return to the UFC London octagon for the event, with Darren Till making his comeback, alongside teammate and superstar Khamzat Chimeav.

March 19 saw a stacked card at the O2 Arena, with incredible fights throughout the night - including Paddy Pimblett's first-round win, Molly McCann's incredible KO and Tom Aspinall's statement victory as every British fighter except for one was able to win their match-ups in a huge night for British MMA.
After Aspinall's win over Alexander Volkov, he was seen talking to White on the UFC's official social media pages and it has been tentatively agreed that he will once again headline the card.
