When is UFC London 2022? Date, tickets, fight card and how to watch on TV

The UFC returns to London in just three weeks after three years away.

UFC Fight Night 204 is being held at the O2 Arena on March 19, with a stacked card full of exciting fighters has already been announced, with British Tom Aspinall, Paddy Pimblett, Arnold Allen, Molly McCann and many more already confirmed.

Paddy 'The Baddy' fights in his second UFC bout - taking on Rodrigo 'Kazula' Vargas while Liverpool's McCann will also fight on the preliminary card against the Brazilian mixed martial artist Luana Carolina.

Meanwhile Manchester's Tom Aspinall, who fights out of Liverpool, headlines the event against the Russian Alexander Volkov.

UFC president Dana White said that he's been looking to bring an event back to the UK for the last few years, but Covid restrictions had made things difficult.

Now though, the event is just weeks away. Here is all you need to know ahead of UFC London.

When and where is UFC London held?

The event will be held on March 19 at the 02 Arena in London.

Gates open at 4:30pm, with the first fight of the undercard expected at around 5:30pm.

How can I buy tickets?

Tickets went on sale in February and some are still available to purchase via Ticketmaster.

The starting point for tickets is over £300 for higher sections all the way up to £1822 for cageside!

How can I watch it on TV?

You'll be able to follow the action on BT Sport.

Since the partnership that was first agreed upon in 2013, BT Sport has been the only place MMA fans can watch the UFC legally here in the UK.
