The UFC could hold a main event card in the UK for just the second time with Wembley Stadium being earmarked in what would be a record-breaking attendance for a UFC event.
This comes after British fighter Leon Edwards shocked the world when he defeated pound-for-pound number on Kamaru Usman to become welterweight champion. Edwards was down 3-1 on the judges scorecards and looked like he'd be heading for a defeat before landing a huge head-kick to KO Usman and secure the win.
It was the second time the pair met with Edwards having come up short against the Nigerian when they first touched gloves in 2015. Edwards was undefeated since then, with highlight wins over Nate Diaz, Rafael dos Anjos and Donald Cerrone.

And after Edwards' incredible victory, UFC president Dana White reportedly told him that he's looking at a card, potentially being held at Wembley Stadium in 2023.
Wembley is capable of holding as many as 94,000 fans for such an event - which would be almost double the UFC's record attendance, that of 57,000 at the Marvel Stadium in Melbourne in 2019.
Speaking to BT Sport, Edwards said: "Dana said something about Wembley - we have a meeting. He's a lot for the stadium shows.
"He told me he would put on Europe's biggest show and build it around me."
Cardiff's Principality Stadium has also been mentioned, which recently held 62,000 at a WWE event.
