For the first time since March 2019, the Ultimate Fighting Championship will hold an event in London.

The promotion announced on Wednesday that it will hold a card at the O2 arena in England’s capital city, with tickets going on sale Feb. 4. It will be the 12th time the Las Vegas-based organization has held an event in London.

“Every time we put on an event in London, it’s an unbelievable experience,” UFC president Dana White said. “The fans are incredible, and the fights are always off the charts. It’s a different kind of energy in England, and I can’t wait to get back there with a fight card on March 19.”

The promotion’s last visit to London occurred on March 16, 2019, where Jorge Masvidal knocked out Darren Till in the evening’s headliner before engaging in a memorable backstage confrontation with Leon Edwards after the event. A scheduled Fight Night for March 2020 in London was ultimately wiped out by the pandemic.

While the card doesn’t yet have an official headliner, a number of bouts have been reported for the event, including Jack Shore vs. Timur Valiev at bantamweight; Shamil Abdurakhimov vs. Tom Aspinall at heavyweight; Makwan Amirkhani vs. Mike Grundy at featherweight and Jake Hadley vs. Allan Nascimento at flyweight, to name a few.
