UFC London Card Official
Main event
The main event of this year’s UFC London card is the event we all knew would happen. Murphy or Evloev deserve a shot at the champion, but this one will likely cement their position as the No. 1 contender.
It is the first time that Murphy will compete in his home country of England since 2023. He has an undefeated record of 17-0-1 and is coming off the biggest win of his career, a brutal spinning elbow knockout of Aaron Pico.
Evloev is not a particularly fan-friendly fighter. He’s solid wherever the fight goes, especially in the wrestling realm. The Russian made a name for himself in the M1 Challenge, but he has failed to impress since joining the UFC. Despite beating the likes of Arnold Allen, Aljamain Sterling and Diego Lopes, Evloev hasn’t finished an opponent since 2018, with a decision in his last nine fights.
Main card
As we mentioned, Luke Riley will be the co-main event in his second promotional fight. He won his first fight at UFC Qatar against Bogdan Grad and it is clear that the UFC wants to invest in the 26-year-old.
The most interesting fight on the UFC London card is Michael Page vs. Sam Patterson. Although it is a great fight and both men are in good shape, it is a surprising match for many. MVP has found good form at 185 pounds, defeating Sharabutdin Magomedov and perennial contender Jared Cannonier. He returns to welterweight in London to take on the also in-form Sam Patterson. The future is 4-0 with four finishes since moving up to 170 pounds and appears destined for a spot in the rankings.
The all-action Iwo Baraniewski returns to face Austen Lane, who is falling from heavyweight and appears to be on a two-fight skid.
Christian Leroy Duncan looks to continue his winning run and make it four in a row as he clashes with Roman Dolidze. The latter dropped his most recent fight against Anthony Hernandez in a fight night main event.
Opening the main card will be the debuting Kurtis Campbell, who puts his undefeated streak on the line when he takes on Danny Silva. The Pink Panther has secured a contract for the Contender Series and will plan to perform another show in London. Silva is 2-1 in the UFC, but that lone promotional loss came at the hands of the highly respected Kevin Vallejos.
Preliminary map
The preliminary UFC London card is also strong. The highlight is the return of Nathaniel Wood in an extremely fun, fan-friendly fight against Losene Keita. The last king’s man is enjoying a three-fight winning streak and arguably deserves a ranked opponent, but it’s Keita who will face the former CageWarriors champion. Keita is a two-weight Oktagon champion, but he failed to make weight for his UFC debut in Paris, causing the fight to be canceled.
Elsewhere, Mason Jones looks to go seven in a row as he meets the dangerous Axel Sola. Louie Sutherland looks to earn his first promotion victory when he takes on Brando Pericic. Mick Parkin looks to bounce back from his first defeat as he takes on undefeated Mario Pinto. The action-packed, exciting Shanelle Dyer makes her UFC debut as she goes head-to-head Ravena Oliveira.
Other preliminary rounds:
Melissa Mullins vs. Luana Carolina
Shem Rock vs. Abdul-Kareem Al-Selwady
Mantas Kondratavicius vs. Antonio Trocoli
