On Saturday July 23, UFC Fight Night: Blaydes vs Aspinall takes place at The O2 Arena in London, England. The stacked card features many Nordic fighters, including Swedish light heavyweight legend Alexander Gustafsson and middleweight contender Jack “The Joker” Hermansson.

In the heavyweight main event, Curtis Blaydes will face England’s Tom Aspinall. No. 6 ranked Aspinall is undefeated in the UFC with five wins, while Blaydes rides a two-fight win streak.

The card also features a lightweight fight with fan-favourite Paddy “The Baddy” Pimblett who will take on Jordan Leavitt, as well as a women’s flyweight bout between hyped Molly McCann and Hannah Goldy. Finlands featherweight king Makwan “Mr. Finland” Amirkhani and Danish welterweight Nicolas Dalby will also perform on the stacked event.
