Leon edwards against the rising fighter Jack Della Maddalena. The fight card for the event in the British capital has not yet been defined, but it continues to be filled. This Tuesday (14), the organization officially announced on social media four more fights that should be part of the event.
The Brazilian Felipe dos Santos, known as 'Lip Detona', is training partner de Charles of the Bronx and must be part of the UFC London.

Morgan Carriere x Nathaniel Wood
With 21 wins and six losses, Nathaniel Wood found a new lease of life in the featherweight division. After six fights in the UFC bantamweight division, the Londoner moved up a weight class and has since gone four-and-one, with triumphs over Charles Rosa, Charles Jourdain, André Fili e Daniel Pineda. His only defeat was against Muhammad Naimov.
With 20 wins, 10 losses and one draw in his career, Morgan Carriere is aiming to win consecutive fights for the first time in his UFC tenure. He began his career in the organization with a body kick TKO of Manolo Zecchini before a split decision loss to Chepe Mariscal. He bounced back in September when he knocked out Gabriel Miranda.
Jai Herbert vs. Chris Padilla
Jai Herbert will receive the North American Chris Padilla in a lightweight clash (up to 70,3kg). The Englishman, who has already lost to names such as Ilia Topuria e Renato Moicano, has a record of 13 wins, five losses and one draw.
His American opponent Padilla was a standout in 2024. A longtime veteran of the regional scene, Padilla took advantage of a last-minute opportunity in the UFC and finished James Llontop in the first round. He then got a doctor's stoppage for TKO against Zhu Rong to extend his winning streak to five. 'Taco' has 15 wins and six losses.

The promising flyweights (up to 56,7 kg.) Philip Dos Santos, or 'Lip Detona', and Lone'er Kavanagh will have plenty of fans keeping an eye on the matchup. Charles's Bronx pal made a big splash in his UFC debut when he put on a Fight of the Night-winning battle with Manel kape in February 2024. He lost the fight by unanimous decision, then turned around and defeated Victor Altamirano five months later. In September, he lost a unanimous decision to Andre Lima. Detona Lipe has a record of eight wins and two losses.
Kavanagh has fight fans excited after his performance on 'Dana White's Contender Series' in 2024, followed by his debut win over Jose Ochoa in November. Kavanagh is just 25 years old and, with eight wins, is yet to lose as a professional.
Nathan Fletcher x Caolan Loughran
the irish Caolan Loughran faces England's Nathan Fletcher in the UFC London. With nine wins and one loss, Fletcher competed on 'The Ultimate Fighter 32' and was eliminated in the opening round by eventual finalist Kaan Ofli. He received a UFC opportunity anyway and defeated fellow cast member Zygimantas Ramaska via submission in the second round.
Loughran has nine wins and two losses in MMA. He has shown solid skills and a gift for gab so far in his UFC career, but he may be in dire need of a win. His only win in the organization came over Angel Pacheco, which is among the defeats for Taylor lapilus e Jake Hadley.
