UFC London was Awful and Here’s Why

UFC London is now one for the books and from a card that seemed positive ahead of fight night went down terribly. The main event was a onesided beat down with the home fighter, Leon Edwards on the wrong end of it. There were 18,583 people in attendance, bringing in a record Fight Night gate of $4.71 million, however, the 18,583 didn’t see a single finish via TKO/KO. It was a decision-heavy card with few highlights, four submissions and a night to forget overall.

English fighters went 3-6, including low IQ moments from English stars. The card lacked star power from the off with names such as Tom Aspinall, Paddy Pimblett, Arnold Allen, MVP all missing from the card.
