Showtime in London?

Former UFC lightweight champion Anthony Pettis is hoping to return to action on the March 17 UFC Fight Night card in London, England, his team confirmed with MMAFighting.com.

Pettis’ management said he didn’t have a strong preference as to who he fights on the card but just that he’s never been to London and has always wanted to fight there.

The recently-engaged Pettis (20-7) is coming off a loss to Dustin Poirier in November. He is 1-1 since returning to lightweight following a failed stint at featherweight.

The promotion has yet to finalize a main event for the London card, which is set for the O2 Arena.
