UFC London: Nathaniel Wood to meet Liudvik Sholinian in bantamweight battle

With the UFC finally making its long-awaited return to London in March, excitement is building.

Three years after the last event, fans will be able to watch the promotion’s British contingent put on a show inside The O2 on Saturday March 19.

Arnold Allen will meet Dan Hooker in a featherweight fight and the promotion have now announced another mouth-watering bout as the card begins to take shape.

London-born Nathaniel Wood (17-4-0), looking to build on his impressive performance against Casey Kenney as far back as October 2020, will make his return to the octagon in a bantamweight bout against Liudvik Sholinian (9-3-0).

Backed by a home crowd, Wood can make a real statement with a win, building momentum in what could be a big year for ‘The Prospect’.

Tickets will go on general sale at 10am GMT on Friday, February 4, via AXS and Ticketmaster.
