The Ultimate Fighting Championship is heading back to London for the second time.<\/p>\n

The last time London held a UFC event it was headlined by Alexander Gustafsson vs. Jimi Manuwa. Gus ended up winning that night, finishing Manuwa via TKO in the second round.<\/p>\n

Now the promotion will return with a Fight Night card, held on Feb. 27 at the O2 Arena. There is no word on any fights planned for the event yet, but we will keep you posted.<\/p>\n

The UFC’s Joe Carr, Vice President of International at UFC released a statement saying:<\/p>\n

“UFC and MMA have enjoyed a phenomenal level of success and growth across Europe in recent years and London remains a particularly important market for us.”<\/em><\/p>\n
