The UFC is making up for lost time to its United Kingdom fanbase.
MMA Fighting reports that No. 6 rated heavyweight contender Tom Aspinall will headline the promotion’s return to London against No. 4 ranked Curtis Blaydes on July 23rd. It’s the UFC’s second trip to London after (for obvious reasons) not going to the English capital in 2020 or 2021.
Aspinall (12-2) is a perfect 5-0 in the UFC, with all but one of his wins coming in the opening round. His most impressive win to date came in his last outing, a first-round submission of former Bellator champion Alexander Volkov in the last UFC London main event back in March.
