UFC Fight Night returns to London with a huge show at the O2 Arena featuring some of the hottest names in British MMA.

Salford fighter Tom Aspinall will have the backing of the home crowd when he enters the Octagon for the headline showdown against Curtis Blaydes.

Aspinall is the slight underdog at No.6 in the heavyweight rankings against Blaydes, who sits in No.4 spot. However, it’s a tight match-up that should provide fireworks.

Blaydes has only been toppled by Derrick Lewis and Francis Ngannou (on two occasions) in his entire professional career, while Aspinall is undefeated since 2016 and will see this as a huge opportunity to boost his stock.

The Brit defeated Alexander Volkov in a terrific display in London earlier this year, now he’s back to dish out more damage on home soil.

Elsewhere, Paddy Pimblett and Molly McCann are on the card, meaning there’s plenty to be excited about on the night.

RadioTimes.com brings you full details of UFC 272 including UK time, TV channel, live stream details and the fight card.
