Saturday night was a landmark evening in the history of UK mixed martial arts, as UFC London’s return to the calendar after a three-year absence produced a stellar event at the O2 Arena.
As well as being a hugely entertaining card, UFC London was a largely successful night for British fighters. In the main event, Tom Aspinall submitted veteran Alexander Volkov in the first round for a statement heavyweight victory. In the co-main event, Arnold Allen blasted past fan favourite Dan Hooker in the first round after a brief moment of adversity.
