When is UFC London 2026? Start time, card and how to watch Lerone Murphy vs Movsar Evloev tonight

The UFC is back in London this evening, with a pivotal match-up headlining a card full of British talent.

In the main event, Manchester’s Lerone Murphy takes on Movsar Evloev in an intriguing featherweight clash, with one man set to lose his unbeaten record – and the other likely to earn a shot at champion Alexander Volkanovski.

On Thursday, Evloev confirmed he had to solve late Visa issues to get to the English capital, after a rumour circulated that Jean Silva would be stepping in for the Russian, so the O2 Arena’s headline bout looks set to go ahead as planned. And what of Silva? He may even challenge Volkanovski before the winner of tonight’s main event does.

Elsewhere on the UFC London card, Paddy Pimblett’s teammates Luke Riley and Shem Rock step out to represent Liverpool, Michael “Venom” Page and Sam Patterson meet in an all-British bout, and fan favourite Nathaniel Wood is in action.

Furthermore, heavyweights Louie Sutherland and Mario Pinto will make their domestic debuts in the UFC, with the latter aiming to stay unbeaten as a pro. Here’s all you need to know.
