After an emphatic to London in March, the UFC will once again bring back an event to the British capital with a second event of the year on July 23. In what was described by president of the company Dana White as the greatest Fight Night event in its history, he said that he had to come back to the country this year after an incredible London card.
White stated that he initially had no plans to return until the following year, but immediately said after the card that he would move things around to make it happen. It was confirmed that the UFC will return to London last month - with a few fights already being earmarked for the card with a number of fighters declaring their interest.
British fights fans were able to witness a historic night during the last card, with Paddy Pimblett's first-round win, Molly McCann's incredible KO and Tom Aspinall's statement victory all capping off a huge night for a number of local fighters who further their status' in their respective divisions.

Liverpool's Darren Till has also been named on the card as he makes his return to action after beginning training with Khamzat Chimeav.
