Report: UFC returns to UK in July, Muhammad Mokaev to face debuting LFA champ Johnson

The UFC is reportedly returning to the UK with another Fight Night event scheduled for the summer.

Al Zullino previously reported that the promotion would return to London in July following its raucous reception with UFC London this past March. Additional reporting from Niall McGrath disclosed the date for the card would be July 23, the fourth and presumably final event of the month.

With the location and date sorted, the first fight for the upcoming event has also been announced. Brett Okamoto of ESPN revealed that undefeated prospect Muhammad Mokaev would face a promotional newcomer in Charles Johnson, a former Legacy Fighting Alliance (LFA) flyweight champion.
