A MASSIVE domestic dust-up involving one of Scotland's finest fighters has been added to the UFC London card. Mixed martial arts' top promotion returns to London next month for yet another showcase of the UK's finest. And they've added a tasty Battle of Britain to the entertaining bill. Multiple sources have informed SunSport that a lightweight showdown between Chris Duncan and Jordan Vucenic has been finalised for the O2 Arena card.

The fight will mark Vucenic's second octagon outing, the first of which took place last August. The former Cage Warriors featherweight champion stepped up on eight days' notice to take on veteran lightweight Guram Kuteladze. But it wasn't a fairytale outing for the 'The Epidemic', who suffered a unanimous decision defeat in the Abu Dhabi dust-up. Scotland's Duncan, meanwhile, will look to put together the second win streak of his two-year stint in the promotion.

'The Problem' kicked off his UFC run with impressive back-to-back wins over Omar Morales and Yanal Ashmouz. But his bid to crack the lightweight top 15 suffered a setback last February when he suffered a submission loss to Manuel Torres. But the Tullibody Tank got back to winning ways last September with a first-round submission of Bolaji Oki in Paris. UFC Fight Night 255 will be the promotion's 30th event on UK soil.

A welterweight showdown between former champion Leon Edwards and the surging Jack Della Maddalena will top the bill at the North Greenwich dome. The fight will be Edwards' first since losing the 170lbs title to Belal Muhammad last month. 'Rocky' said: "My goal right now is to get the belt back. "For me, it's more about what's next and how do you get back to where you want to get to. "My goal is to be a two-time world champion.".
