With the UFC heading back to London, England in February for their seventh Fuel TV offering, Fighters Only has reported that the promotion looks to add countryman Che Mills to the bill, pairing him with Matt Riddle.
Riddle (7-3), has been quite outspoken about his disdain for fighting overseas, citing jet lag and an overtly hostile crowd as reasons for a poor showing against Nick Osipczak in his last visit across the pond in 2009. “Deep Waters” is undefeated in his last three fights, taking victories over Henry Martinez and John Maguire, with a win over Chris Clements being overturned behind testing positive for marijuana in July.
Mills (15-5) is 2-1 inside the UFC. The “Solid Killer” most recently rebounded from a loss to the surging Rory MacDonald, by taking a TKO stoppage due to injury over Duane Ludwig at UFC: Nottingham.
UFC on Fuel TV 7 is slated to take place at Wembley Arena in London in February, with more bouts expected to be announced soon.

Looks like this is going to be another good card in England!!id rather watch kimbo on YouTube!
I enjoyed the Nottingham card, personally.
I likeeeey!
I think this will be a good match up just hope the rest of the card gets even better :)
Riddle by complete destruction, similar to Rory Mcdonald!!!
Riddle and Rory are two completely different fighters, Che has a better chance at this fight.
this match was first reported by Fighters Only and did not appear anywhere until we reported it; Its not some major issue but we really should be cited on this.

Noted, John. Sorry for the lack of citing, when I did write the article, I didn’t get the news from FO. Next time you break something, I’ll certainly cite you. Deepest apologies. ;)
