5 fights that could headline the UFC's next trip to the UK

#4. Paul 'Bearjew' Craig vs. Anthony 'Lionheart' Smith - UFC light heavyweight bout

Immediately after submitting Nikita Krylov, Scotland's Paul Craig called for a main event fight against Anthony Smith to be held in Glasgow. The UFC has not held an event in Scotland since 2017. Now would be an ideal time to hold one, with Craig the closest thing to a Scottish title contender since Joanne Wood missed out on her chance to fight Valentina Shevchenko.

Should Anthony Smith not be available, with rumors of a fight between him and Magomed Ankalaev abundant, then Craig has also stated that he would be just as happy with a bout against former title challenger Thiago Santos.

An event in Scotland would also be an ideal chance to give rising prospect Casey O'Neill a main card fight as she continues her ascent up the flyweight rankings, maybe even against fellow Scotswoman, Joanne Wood.

#3. Arnold 'Almighty' Allen vs. Calvin Kattar - UFC featherweight bout

Another victor from the recent London event, Arnold Allen now holds a nine-fight win streak in the UFC. Allen defeated Dan Hooker via standing knockout, much to the delight of the home crowd.

He then jumped on the mic and called out No. 5-ranked featherweight Calvin Kattar. The American's team has already responded, stating that it is a fight they would be interested in taking.

Calvin Kattar has headlined the past three cards in which he has featured, and there is no reason why a fight with Allen should not be enough to serve as the main event for the the promotion's next venture to the UK.
