The Ultimate Fighting Championship is back in London this weekend for its second UK numbered event. Tickets are still available for the night of fights, including the highly anticipated Edwards vs Usman match.
Ultimate Fighting fans, there’s still time to get yourself a seat at this weekend’s UFC 286 at the O2 Arena. There’s a full night of entertainment in store, including the ultimate rematch between the British UFC welterweight champion Leon Edwards and the number one ranked Kamaru Usman.
Last year, Edwards became the second-ever British UFC champion after an exhilarating fight with Usman which saw him knocked out in the fifth round. Now the pair are back for another go in London, with a third match that will close out one of UFC’s longest-standing rivalries.
The event will also see Justin Gaethje face Rafael Fiziev in a lightweight battle, and Jennifer Maia fight Casey O’Neill in the women’s flyweight match. Plus, expect a full evening of Prelim and Early Prelim matches to fulfil all your Ultimate Fighting needs.
This will be the third time Britain is to host a UFC event and the second time it hosts one of the numbered nights. The first two events were held at the O2 last year and both completely sold out.
When this latest London event was announced, UFC president Dana White said: “Everyone knows how much I love our fans in the UK. We had two incredible shows in London in 2022, and this time we’re bringing a world title fight with the biggest and baddest card we could put together at The O2 on March 18th.
“The UK MMA scene is exploding with talent right now and I can’t wait to show you guys what we have in store for you next year.”
So, to see one of the biggest fights of the year, make sure you grab a last-minute ticket to UFC 286. Here’s everything you need to know.
