Ranked heavyweights Marcin Tybura of Poland and Englishman Mick Parkin clash in the prelims of UFC London this weekend. Top ten Tybura returns to the octagon following his TKO of Jhonata Diniz last November. His last visit to London resulted in a loss to Tom Aspinall in 2023. In that event, Mick Parkin made a winning debut in the UFC. Unbeaten in the promotion, Parkin has moved into the rankings, and his performances mean that the odds are almost even as he takes on the veteran Tybura in what promises to be an exciting fight to keep the fans interested in the prelims.

Mick Parkin
A graduate of the DWCS 2022 class, Englishman Mick Parkin has taken to the UFC heavyweight class with class, winning all his four bouts since a 2023 debut and making it into the rankings after a first-round knockout of Lukasz Brzeski last summer. The victory was Parkin's first stoppage win in the promotion and first performance bonus. The 29-year-old may be facing his biggest challenge in the promotion against Marcin Tybura, but Parkin has taken on and beaten some notables, mostly showcasing his endurance to go the distance. Unanimous decision victories over Jamal Pogues, Caio Machado, and Muhammad Usman indicate that the undefeated Parkin is a tough and resilient opponent who refuses to accept defeat.
