UFC London Fight Night Set for March

The Ultimate Fighting Championship (UFC) is set to host a Fight Night event in London on March 21, 2024. This event will take place at the iconic O2 Arena, although the organization has not yet disclosed the fight card.

Previous Events and Notable Outcomes

The last UFC event held in London featured significant matchups. British welterweight Leon Edwards faced American Sean Brady but suffered a defeat. Additionally, Molly McCann, a well-known figure in the octagon, lost to Alexia Thainara. This fight marked the end of McCann’s illustrious ten-year career in mixed martial arts.

Upcoming Fight Night Expectations

As a Fight Night event, it is unlikely to include any title fights. However, several fighters have made headlines regarding potential appearances.

Key Fighters to Watch

• Lerone Murphy: Ranked fourth in the featherweight division, Murphy has expressed interest in a March bout. Originally targeting a fight with champion Alexander Volkanovski, he is now scheduled to face Diego Lopes at UFC 324 on January 31.
• Leon Edwards: Seeking to end his three-fight losing streak, Edwards may have the opportunity to compete again in March.
• Michael ‘Venom’ Page: Currently without a scheduled fight, Page is another British fighter to monitor ahead of the event.
• Nathaniel Wood: Following his victory over Jose Delgado in October, Wood is a potential contender for the London card.
• Luke Riley: After knocking out Bogdan Grad in his UFC debut last month, Riley may also feature prominently.

As March approaches, more details regarding the matchups will likely become available, leading to heightened anticipation for UFC London Fight Night.
