UFC London 2022 is scheduled to be held on July 23 at the O2 Arena in Peninsula Square, London. The event will be headlined by a heavyweight clash between Curtis Blaydes and Tom Aspinal.

No.6-ranked Aspinal is undefeated in his UFC career and is currently on an eight-fight win streak. The Englishman's last win came against Alexander Volkov at UFC Fight Night 204.

The No.4-ranked Blaydes is on a two-fight win streak and took out Chris Daukuas in his last bout at UFC on ESPN 33.

UFC London also sees the return of former three-time light heavyweight title challenger Alexander Gustafsson. Gustafsson will face No.11-ranked light heavyweight Nikita Krylov on his return to the octagon.

Gustafsson is entering the UFC cage for the first time in almost two years since his submission loss to Fabricio Werdum in July 2020. Krylov has also not won a bout since his 2020 decision win against Johnny Walker.

Another standout fight on the card is Paddy Pimblett vs. Jordan Leavitt.

The July 23rd event will mark Pimblett's third fight with the organization. After back-to-back first-round finishes in his first two, Pimblett will be looking to produce a similar performance in front of his home crowd.

Paddy 'The Baddy's opponent, Dana White Contender Series alum Jordan Leavitt is currently on a two-fight win streak with the UFC. The American holds an impressive 10-1 pro-MMA record.
