‘UFC Fight Night London’ medical suspensions

This past weekend, fight fans tuned in to UFC Fight Pass for a highly anticipated afternoon of fights in London, England. UFC Fight Night London played host to a number of pivotal bouts, including MMA veteran Brad Pickett’s final fight.

Also on the main card, Arnold Allen kept his unbeaten streak in tact as he defeated Mr. Finland, Makwan Amirkhani, handing the Finnish superstar the first loss of his UFC career, and snapping his 3-fight win streak. Interestingly enough, prior to the fight, Amirkhani stated that he wouldn’t be fighting again until the UFC visited Finland. With the promotion recently announcing the remainder of their International schedule for 2017, and Finland not being included, only time will tell when Amirkhani will return to the Octagon.

In the co-main event, SBG Ireland’s very own Gunnar Nelson picked up a big submission win over Alan Jouban, putting him on a 2-fight win streak after dropping a UFC 194 loss to Demian Maia.

In the main event, Jimi Manuwa picked up an incredible first round knockout win over Corey Anderson, putting him on a 2-fight win streak following his UFC 191 loss to Anthony Johnson in September of 2015.
