The UFC’s return to London in March still is without an announced headliner, but the card continues to build.
England’s own Danny Roberts (14-3 MMA, 3-2 UFC) is set to take on Oliver Enkamp (7-1 MMA, 0-1 UFC) in a welterweight bout at UFC Fight Night 127. UFC officials announced the new booking today.
UFC Fight Night 127 takes place March 17 at The O2 in London. The entire card streams on UFC Fight Pass.
Roberts will be looking to rebound from a head-kick knockout loss to Nordine Taleb at UFC on FOX 26 a month ago. Taleb was a short-notice replacement for Sheldon Westcott. Roberts has alternated wins and losses in his past four UFC fights.
Enkamp needs to bounce back from the first loss of his pro career this past May at UFC Fight Night 109. Coincidentally, that unanimous decision loss also came to Taleb. The Swedish fighter had started his career a perfect 7-0 before the setback in his UFC debut.
