The UFC has held four events in the London arena since the COVID-19 pandemic, a pair of trips in 2022 and 2023 each, with local stars emerged victorious in all but one of the shows.
Tom Aspinall defeated both Marcin Tybura and Alexander Volkov with quick finishes, but suffered a knee injury seconds into his clash with Curtis Blaydes. Aspinall now holds the UFC interim heavyweight title.
The other main event victory came by the hands of Leon Edwards, successfully defending his welterweight title in a trilogy match with Kamaru Usman at UFC 286.
