UFC London Card Officially Announced; Allen-Hooker Set To Headline
The UFC have officially announced their return to London, England for March 19th at the O2 Arena. Rumours have been circulating for several months that the to be announced date was the London card and with the confirmation of the fight night card, Dana White revealed to Barstool Sports Cage Warriors alumni Paddy Pimblett (17-3-0) will have his second fight under the UFC banner with a lightweight bout vs Jared Gorden (18-4-0) who like Pimblett, is coming off a Fight Night 193 split division victory over Joe Seleci.
However Paddy ‘The Baddy’ will not be the only star on so at UFC London, as co-founder of The Fight Disciples Adam Catterall reports that while no bout agreements have been signed, Dan Hooker vs #6 ranked featherweight contender Arnold Allen is “part of the plan”, when asked on Twitter about Darren Till’s status for the London card Catterall tweeted that Till’s team will “not allow him to fight unless 100 percent,” however Catteral also goes on to state his assurance that if fit “it’s his (Till’s) turf and would fully expect to see him on the UFC London card.”
