UFC'S UK president Marshall Zelaznik has confirmed UFC 120 will take place in London on October 16, with Dan Hardy and Michael Bisping set to fight on the card.

The UFC's reach is a global one now and with Hardy and Bisping two of the big names in the sport, they will get the chance to fight in their own country.

"That's happening," Zelaznik told MMA Fighting when asked about the prospect of UFC 120 heading to London. "We have not announced a date yet, but it is going to be October 16. Tickets are not on sale yet, but in the next couple of weeks we will do that.

"The fight card has yet to be confirmed, but we expect Dan to be on that card; Bisping will be on that card."

Reports suggest Hardy will fight Carlos Condit and Zelaznik dropped a broad hint that that will be the case.

"The rumour mill is usually pretty accurate, that's all I'll say," Zelaznik said. "We don't usually announce anything until it is signed so I am not aware of that fight being signed. But those rumours usually have a little bit of life."
