UFC London 2022: How many fights have been booked so far?

The UFC is finally set to return to the United Kingdom. UFC Fight Night 204 is slated to take place on March 19 2022, at The O2 Arena in London, England. This will be the promotion's first event in the English capital since March 2019. So far, 11 fights have been booked for the event.

UFC Fight Night 204 is scheduled to be headlined by a heavyweight fight between Alexander Volkov and Tom Aspinall. Aspinall is one of the most promising English prospects on the UFC roster and is unbeaten since joining the promotion.

Volkov, the former Bellator heavyweight champion, will be the Brit's toughest test to date.

The event was also scheduled to feature a bantamweight bout between undefeated prospects Jack Shore and Umar Nurmagomedov. Unfortunately, Nurmagomedov withdrew from the bout for undisclosed reasons and has been replaced by Timur Valiev.

Paddy Pimblett is also set to feature on the main card. 'The Baddy' will take on Rodrigo Vargas in his second UFC bout. Undefeated English flyweights Jake Hadley and Muhammad Mokaev are slated to make their UFC debuts on the night as well.

When was the last UFC London event?

The UFC's last visit to London was in March 2019. At UFC Fight Night 147, Jorge Masvidal began his "resurrection" with a brutal knockout victory over Darren Till in the main event.

Iceland's Gunnar Nelson took on Birmingham's Leon Edwards in the co-main event. Edwards came away with a unanimous decision victory. The fight card also featured the likes of Dominick Reyes, Nathaniel Wood, Molly McCann, Mike Grundy and Dan Ige.

Leon Edwards was slated to take on Tyron Woodley at the O2 Arena in March 2020. Unfortunately, due to the escalation of the COVID-19 pandemic, the event was canceled.
