On March 21, the UFC will hold a Fight Night event in London.

The promotion has yet to confirm any fights for the card, but the event is scheduled to take place at O2 Arena.

British welterweight champion Leon Edwards lost to American Sean Brady in March’s final UFC match in London.

Alexia Thainara’s defeat in the British Open saw her retire from the sport, ending her groundbreaking 10-year career.

It’s unlikely to host any title fights because the event is a Fight Night show rather than one of the UFC’s flagship numbered events.

Lerone Murphy of Great Britain, who is currently fourth in the featherweight rankings, might be a contender for a March fight.

The 34-year-old was planning to fight world champion Alexander Volkanovski, but he ended up facing Brazilian star Diego Lopes at UFC 324 on January 31.

While British middleweight Michael “Venom” Page does not currently have a fight scheduled, Edwards might try again as he attempts to end a three-fight losing streak.
