The Ultimate Fighting Championship’s upcoming jaunt to London has something for just about everyone.

Over the last six years, the industry leader has settled into a routine of visiting the UK once per year, generally in March, and this year’s offering checks all the boxes for one of the better Fight Night cards of 2026. Divisional stakes? The main event between Movsar Evloev and England’s own Lerone Murphy has been explicitly designated as a featherweight title eliminator. Geographic crowd pleasers? Five of the six main card bouts feature British fighters, four of them matched up against non-Brits, and outside of the main event, the native fighters are all big favorites.
