5 dream main events for a future UFC London fight night

Paddy Pimblett was one of the big winners from this past weekend

Last weekend's UFC London event may not have reached the same heights as the event in London earlier this year, but UK MMA once again had a strong showing. While Tom Aspinall suffered heartbreak in the main event, there were incredible performances by Paddy Pimblett and Molly McCann that set the O2 on fire.

While it remains to be seen when the UFC will next return to the UK, Dana White will have no shortage of options when picking out the main event. Here are five dream main events for a UFC London fight night in the future:

#5. Paddy Pimblett vs. Michael Johnson - UFC lightweight division

Pimblett and Johnson have a combined record of 39-21

Paddy Pimblett is one of the biggest stars in the UFC today. While he may still be new to the organization, he is very clearly a fan favorite and has produced impressive finishes every time he’s stepped inside the octagon. His popularity is already at a level worthy of headlining a fight night event.

The blonde-haired Liverpudlian still has some room for improvement, so the UFC would be smart to give him one or two more opponents before giving him a ranked opponent. At the same time, for a main event, the UFC would have to put him against a name that carries some weight with the fans.

Michael Johnson may no longer be competing at the level that saw him KO Dustin Poirier, but his recent bouts have shown he is still a very solid UFC lightweight. The fight would give both men a huge opportunity and seems like a suitable match-up for both men at this stage of their careers.
