Event: UFC Fight Night 204: Volkov vs Aspinall
Date: Saturday, 19th March 2022
Location: O2 Arena, London, England

In what will serve as the first event outside of the United States and Abu Dhabi since the start of the pandemic, the UFC will be heading to England’s capital city for the 11th time on Saturday night.

Up and down the card there are hometown heroes, veterans and rising stars to be found with the promotion stacking the deck in a way that’s rarely seen on a Fight Night event.

A special six-fight main card will be preceded by some intriguing prelims for a show that American fans can sit back and enjoy in the afternoon as opposed to the evening.
