Arriving at The O2 on Saturday 18 March 2017, UFC have announced the date will host the retirement fight by the legendary Brad “One Punch” Pickett.

Pickett, a pioneer in mixed martial arts, will take on Mexican fighter Henry Briones as part of a card that so far also sees five other fights showcasing the best of British.

Brad “One Punch” Pickett (26-13) v Henry Brones (19-6-1)

Leon Edwards (12-3) v Vicente Luque (11-5-1)
