The wait is over! Ultimate Fighting Championship (UFC) returns to O2 Arena in London, England, on March 19, 2022, for the first time in two years led by a hard-hitting Heavyweight showdown between top-ranked division contenders, Alexander Volkov (No. 6) and Tom Aspinall (No. 11). In the UFC ‘London’ co-main event, Dan Hooker returns to Featherweight action against Arnold Allen, while up-and-coming English striking sensation, Paddy Pimblett, locks horns with Rodrigo Vargas.
Headlining the ESPN+ fight card is the heavyweight showdown between No. 6-ranked Russian bruiser Alexander Volkov and hometown hero Tom Aspinall, who looks to crack the Top 10 with a breakout performance against “Drago.” Elsewhere on the card, longtime lightweight veteran Dan Hooker makes his featherweight return opposite once-beaten English sensation Arnold Allen.
And let’s not forget the return of lightweight loudmouth Paddy Pimblett.
