But London will once again play host to the MMA leader on March 22 for what will be a historic card.
The Fight Night card, which takes place at The O2 Arena, will be the promotion’s 30TH on British soil.
An excerpt from a press release read: “We are pleased to announce that UFC® is returning to London on Saturday, March 22, 2025, at the O2 Arena.
“This milestone event marks the 30th UFC event in the UK and promises a night of thrilling action.”
The latest UFC London card is set to showcase the UK and Ireland’s finest, with the likes of Lerone Murphy, Paddy Pimblett, Molly McCann and Modestas Bukauskas all in line for appearances.
A main event for what will likely be another sold-out show has yet to be announced.
But SunSport understands Britain’s third UFC champion Leon Edwards is in contention to top the bill.
And ‘Rocky’, who lost the belt to Belal Muhammad in July, is eyeing top billing, quote tweeting the official announcement for the card with an eye emoji.

How to Watch UFC 309
The UFC makes it’s annual visit to New York City on November 16 for another blockbuster pay-per-view card.

Topping the bill at the ‘World’s Most Famous Arena’ is the eagerly-anticipated heavyweight title fight between champion Jon Jones and former titleholder Stipe Miocic.
And in the co-main event of the evening, Michael Chandler will throw down with former lightweight champion and fellow fan favourite Charles Oliveira.
