The UFC may be returning to the UK in September, as Swedish newspaper Expressen.se reports that Jorgen Kruth has verbally agreed to meet Cyrille Diabate in his UFC debut on September 29 in England.
Kruth was supposed to meet Diabate at UFC on Fuel 2 in Sweden last month, but suffered an injury that took him out of the bout. Diabate instead took on Tom DeBlass, taking a decision on the card.
The 38-year-old is a veteran of over 100 kickboxing bouts, and has won all five of his MMA fights since transitioning to the sport in 2009. Though he made the move to MMA late, he has stopped all five of his fights in the first round.
The UFC hasn't officially announced an event for September 29, but if it sticks for England it will be the first trip to the UK in 2012, and first since last November's UFC 138 card.
