Next year’s UFC London card has begun booking fights, and Irish star Shauna Bannon will be among those taking part.
“Mama B” Bannon (6-1) is set to face ONE Championship alum Puja Tomar (9-4) at the event, set for the O2 Arena in London, England on March 22, 2025.
News of the women’s strawweight booking was first announced by First Round Management.
Bannon is a former Invicta FC fighter and Cage Legacy strawweight champ. She entered the UFC last year, losing her debut opposite Bruna Brasil, before returning nearly a year to the date to defeat Alice Ardelean. Both fights went the distance.
The 31-year old now gets India’s Tomar, who competed for the Super Fight League early in her career, before moving to ONE Championship. That run saw Tomar struggle, going 1-3 through four fights in MMA while also losing to Bi Nguyen Muay Thai. Tomar turned things around starting in 2021, however, setting off on a five-fight unbeaten streak that continues to this day. She has avenged her loss to Nguyen during her current hot streak (this time in an MMA fight), and was victorious in her UFC debut, claiming a split decision win over Rayanne Amanda.
2025’s UFC London card doesn’t have a main event officially announced; more bouts will no doubt be revealed in the coming weeks.
