The UFC has the U.K. circled on the calendar as part of its first-quarter international schedule in 2025.

The promotion announced that a UFC Fight Night event will take place March 22 at The O2 in London. No bouts were included with the announcement.

Lightweight contender Renato Moicano wasted no time calling for a UFC London main event between himself and Paddy Pimblett on X. The two have gone back-and-forth about a potential fight in recent weeks.

Unlike UFC 304 in Manchester, which had a 3 a.m. local (10 p.m. ET) main card following the traditional start times for U.S. pay-per-views, this Fight Night event will happen in prime time locally.

UFC 304 last July at the Co-op Live saw Belal Muhammad dethrone Leon Edwards to become welterweight champion in the main event. In the night’s co-headliner, Tom Aspinall retained his interim heavyweight title by avenging his loss to Curtis Blaydes in a first-round TKO win. Fan favorite Pimblett also picked up his biggest UFC win to date, submitting King Green in the first round to earn a $200,000 bonus.

Given March 22 is a Fight Night event, it’s unlikely to be as stacked as UFC 304.
