For the first time since March 2014, the UFC will run an event in one of the biggest cities in the world – London, England. The promotion announced today that they will return to London on February 27th, and tickets will go on sale in December:

According to UFC officials, some of the guys you’d expect have expressed an interest in fighting on the card – Brits Michael Bisping, Brad Pickett, and Ross Pearson.
The last London show was UFC Fight Night 37: Gustafsson vs. Manuwa at the O2 Arena on March 8th, 2014. That event drew a crowd of 14,604 and earned a two million dollar gate.
The UFC ran one event in the UK this year, which was in Glasgow in July. They also have an event scheduled in Dublin, Ireland next month.
