UFC London is set for March 21, and a new British star is taking centre stage.
Former Cage Warriors champion Luke Riley will get his first co-main event as UFC returns to London. The undefeated rising star is further up the bill than Michael Page – in his second UFC fight ever.
Riley made his UFC debut in flying colours as he knocked out Bogdan Grad in the second round in November. On March 21, he returns to take on Michael Aswell.

First fight for Losene Ketia
The card also features the debut of former OKTAGON MMA double champion Losene Keita who will face the seasoned Nathaniel Wood on the prelims.
Keita was supposed to make his UFC debut in September last year but failed to make weight which led to the cancellation of the bout.
We will also see Shem Rock make his second UFC appearance as he takes on the seasoned Abdul-Kareem Al-Sewady who will make his 2oth pro fight. Rock lost his November debut via unanimous decision against the tough Nurullo Aliev.
