THE Ultimate Fighting Championship will be back in London in the summer.
Mixed martial arts' premier promotion made its long-awaited return to the UK in March following a three-year hiatus.
The promotion's latest visit to England proved to be a historic and enchanting night that blew away UFC president Dana White.
And it has prompted the MMA leader to make a quick return to these shores.
The show, however, could face a scheduling clash with Anthony Joshua's high-stakes rematch with Oleksandr Usyk – which is also being targeted for the same date.
No fights have been announced for the UFC's latest UK offering, but SunSport understands the majority of the Brits who were in action in March will feature on the card.

Tickets for the show will go on sale on May 27, via AXS and Ticketmaster.
UFC Fight Club and O2 priority members, however, will be to purchase them from May 25.
The UFC's last London card was headlined by surging Wigan-based heavyweight Tom Aspinall, who made light work of perennial contender Alexander Volkov.
The O2 produced the most electric atmosphere in the history of the UFC's trips to the UK.

MMA mogul White was blown away by the raucous atmosphere, so much so he vowed to make a swift return to the UK.
During the post-fight press conference, he said: "Tonight re-energised me and reminded me of what it's like to do fights over in the UK.
"We're coming back here this year. I don't give a s*** what the schedule is.
"We're gonna be moving s*** around when we get home."
UK MMA fans went into March's show believing this crop of fighters is the best the nation has ever had – a notion White agrees with.
The veteran promoter told SunSport: "100 per cent this is the Golden Generation.
"Some of the fighters on this card have the opportunity and the ability to break into the top three and possible be world champions."
