The Ultimate Fighting Championship’s upcoming jaunt to London includes a quietly fascinating undercard—as they usually do.
Over the last six years, the industry leader has settled into a routine of visiting the UK once per year, generally in March, and while the top matchups on the marquee depend on the state of the UFC’s divisional title pictures and the availability of homegrown stars, the prelims almost always feature the crème de la crème of upcoming European talent. This weekend’s offering at London’s O2 Arena is no exception, with practically every undercard bout featuring a former Cage Warriors, Oktagon MMA or Ares FC champion.
