Alexander Volkanovski defended the featherweight title at UFC 325 this past weekend and will fight the winner of Evloev-Murphy in London next.

‘The Miracle’ scored a Knockout of the Year contender over Aaron Pico in his last fight at UFC 319, while Evloev outpointed Aljamain Sterling in his most recent appearance in December 2024.

Both men would’ve been left utterly disappointed not to fight Volkanovski in Sydney over the weekend, but are now guaranteed a title fight with a win at UFC London, barring unforeseen circumstances.

Also on the card, Paddy Pimblett‘s teammate at Next Gen in Liverpool, Luke Riley, faces Michael Aswell in a featherweight co-main event bout.

‘Venom’ returns

In one of the most exciting fights scheduled for the UFC London card, Watford welterweight Sam Patterson has been rewarded for his four-fight first-round winning streak with a showdown against Michael ‘Venom’ Page.

Patterson told talkSPORT.com in January 2026 that his main goal was to be a top 15-ranked welterweight by 2027, and a win over Page would no doubt put him in a great position.

“The goal for me by the end of this year is to be in the top 15,” Patterson said.

“Definitely. I just want to challenge myself. I want to see how good I really am.

“And the way I’ve performed at welterweight so far, it’s hard to not believe I deserve that opportunity.

“I finished everyone in the first round. So I’m only looking for the challenge that’s going to take me to that next level.”

After struggling to get an opponent in a higher weight class, former ranked welterweight Page moves down a division to face Patterson.

Page defeated Jared Cannonier in his last outing six months ago, following an impressive win against Shara Magomedov.

He is one of the most exciting fighters in the sport, with his only defeat in Dana White‘s promotion coming to current welterweight title contender Ian Machado Garry.

Christian Leroy Duncan, Kurtis Campbell, Mason Jones, Nathaniel Wood, Louie Sutherland, Mick Parkin, Mario Pinto, Melissa Mullins, Shem Rock, and Shanelle Dyer are the other Brits on the card.

Who isn’t fighting at UFC London?

Three notable omissions are Pimblett himself, UFC heavyweight champion Tom Aspinall and ex-welterweight king Leon Edwards, with all three currently ranked in their respective divisions.

Tom Aspinall of England reacts after suffering an eye poke against Ciryl Gane of France in the UFC heavyweight championship fight during the UFC 321 event at Etihad Arena on October 25, 2025 in Abu Dhabi, United Arab Emirates — Aspinall’s comeback fight was stopped with just 25 seconds left in the first round following a nasty eye-poke from Ciryl Gane

Pimblett only fought last month, losing to Justin Gaethje in the main event of UFC 324, and is targeting a return in the summer.

Aspinall, meanwhile, is currently recovering from eye surgery following his no-contest against Ciryl Gane, and as the heavyweight champion, will be held for the UFC’s numbered cards only.

As for Edwards, ‘Rocky’ was knocked out by Carlos Prates only three months ago, and, like Pimblett, will be eyeing a return to the Octagon in the later stages of the year.
