UFC®, the world’s premier mixed martial arts organisation, has announced its highly anticipated return to London The O2 on Saturday 21 March 2026, with No. 1 ranked featherweight Movsar Evloev set to take on No. 4 featherweight Manchester’s Lerone Murphy.

Movsar Evloev (19-0-0, fighting out of Sunzha, Ingushetia, Russia) has earned nine straight victories inside the Octagon. Known for his dominant, grappling-heavy style, the undefeated standout holds wins over former bantamweight champion Aljamain Sterling, Arnold Allen and Diego Lopes.

Lerone Murphy, (17-0-1, fighting out of Manchester, England) tops the marquee in London for the first time. Unbeaten across 11 UFC appearances, “The Miracle” is coming off a Knockout of the Year performance against Aaron Pico at UFC 319 in August that extended his winning streak to 10 and established him as a legitimate threat in the featherweight division.

Meanwhile, Luke Riley (12-0-0, fighting out of Liverpool, England) is back in action after an impressive UFC debut in Qatar, where he produced an emphatic KO finish against Bogdan Grad. Riley is known for his confidence, composure and finishing instinct, he’s entering this next fight with momentum and the intent to announce himself as a serious presence in the featherweight division.

Michael Aswell Jr. (11-3-0, fighting out of Houston, Texas), returns to the Octagon® following his round one win against Lucas Almeida. Aswell Jr. brings a relentless pace and a well-rounded skill set that makes him a dangerous matchup for Liverpool’s Riley.
