The Octagon goes back to London, but there is a rising star that is missing in the map.
At UFC London on March 22, Leon Edwards will try to put his frustrating night against Belal Muhammad behind him when he returns to the main event.
On Saturday evening, part of the top talent from the region will present, including an England vs Scotland collision that now has an extra bet about it.
Molly McCann has produced a number of incredible highlights in the O2arena and she will blow away the roof in her straw weight.
Although the teammate of McCann Nathan Fletcher will also be in action, there is an undefeated hunter from the same gym that could be in the UFC in the UFC in the very near future.

Molly McCann says that Luke Riley will probably sign at the UFC in the coming weeks
The week before UFC London were several hunters from the next generation of MMA from Liverpool in Manchester to encourage their teammate, Luke Riley.
Riley participated in the last fight on his current deal with Cage Warriors, where he produced his 8th knockout victory to climb to 11-0 as a pro.
After he stopped Tariel Abbasov in the second round, Riley took the headset of one of the commentators to send a message to the UFC matchmakers.
At the age of 25, Riley had earlier links to the UFC that unfortunately did not come out in 2024.
He would participate in the Contender Series of Dana White against Kevin Vallejos last September, who recently produced an impressive UFC debut, but the chance fell apart.
With Riley with a clear star potential with his exciting fighting style, it was just a matter of time before the MMA leader returned to him.
Molly McCann spoke in her media day interview about her current situation of the teammates and stated that another scouser will probably be next to her and Paddy Pimblett rather than later.
“I think he will be here in a few weeks, boy. I think they have just some things to train contractually. Then, next March, I will be the path, Luke and Nathan.”
Luke Riley was built for the UFC
Everyone who has followed the European scene in recent years will already know about the star potential of Luke Riley.
With the success that Paddy Pimblett and Molly McCann have reached, it always seemed as if he was destined to compete in the UFC where fans will certainly love him.
Riley is not only an exciting striker who stores opponents, he has been involved in a number of crazy fights who really tested him during his time in Cage Warriors.
The UFC always becomes a big step for every hunter with potential, but if everything falls into place for Riley, he could become the next star of the UK.
