UK MMA Fans Are Furious After UFC London Tickets See a Huge Jump in Price

Published 02/05/2022, 2:10 AM EST

UFC will go to the UK for an event after almost three years. The last time they hosted an event in the UK was UFC on ESPN+ 5: Till vs. Masvidal, also known as UFC Fight Night 147 and UFC London.

The upcoming UK event will take place at the famous O2 arena in London. Excitement is at an all-time high, but fans are having a slight issue. This is because UFC enthusiasts are apparently buying tickets to resell and thus increasing the prices.

Unhappy fans around the UK have tweeted their frustrations about the same.

It’s a travesty that actual MMA fans who stay up to ungodly hours week in week out to watch the UFC, cannot get tickets to #UFCLondon & people are already reselling them at over double the price they purchased them for. Upsetting for actual fans.
#O2Priority Sucks.

Even fans gave the example of the Super Bowl to show the high price of UFC London tickets.

#UFCLondon Tickets all gone within seconds of being aloud to buy them! Disgrace.
Yet if you then go to a ticket resale site there are thousands.
Company’s need to do more to stop ticket touts and bots stealing all the tickets for the real fans! @TicketmasterUK @AXS_UK @ufc pic.twitter.com/FeFtYzqIi1

One thing fans can’t complain about is the quality of the card. UFC London has some of the most intriguing fights built around UK fighters.

The UFC London card is looking promising, even without Darren Till

Many fans expected Darren Till to headline the card against Uriah Hall, but that contest could not come to fruition.

Hence, the UFC went with the young British HW fighter, Tom Aspinall. He will share the octagon with Alexander Volkov. Also, exciting Liverpudlian Paddy Pimblett will feature on the card on home soil.
