The UFC returns to the UK for the second time this year tonight after an exciting card in March. In that event, Paddy Pimblett and Molly McCann secured emphatic victories to hugely elevate their status in their classes, and they'll both be back in the octagon later this evening.
UFC president Dana White promised to bring an event back to London after stating that the March 19 was one of the best that he'd ever seen. White stated that he initially had no plans to return until the following year, but immediately said after the card that he would move things around to make it happen. It was confirmed that the UFC will return to London last month - with a few fights already being earmarked for the card with a number of fighters declaring their interest.
British fights fans were able to witness a historic night during the last card, with Pimblett's first-round win, McCann's incredible KO and Tom Aspinall's statement victory all capping off a huge night for a number of local fighters who further their status' in their respective divisions.
