For the first time since the outbreak of COVID-19, the UFC is back in London.
The promotion announced Wednesday that a UFC event will take place on March 19 at The O2 Arena in London, with tickets going on sale for the event Feb. 4.
This will be the first UFC event at The O2 Arena since a Fight Night event on March 16, 2019, which was capped off by Jorge Masvidal’s memorable knockout of Darren Till and his subsequent backstage confrontation with Leon Edwards. A London event headlined by Edwards and Tyron Woodley was to take place on March 21, 2020, but that card was cancelled in the wake of the growing COVID-19 pandemic.
