Welsh fighters Jack Shore and Cory McKenna will both fight at UFC Fight Night 204 in London on 19 March.

Shore, 26, is undefeated in 15 professional bouts and fights Russia's Timur Valiev, who has a record of 18-2 and has not lost since 2016.

McKenna, 22, fights America's Elise Reed, who lost last time out against Sijara Eubanks by technical knockout.

The Cwmbran-born fighter beat Kay Hansen by unanimous decision in her last fight back in November 2020.

McKenna became the youngest British fighter to be awarded a UFC contract after she beat Vanessa Demopoulos during Dana White's Contender Series in August 2020.

Shore is looking to build on his fight against Liudvik Sholinian, which he won despite a torn bicep, having agreed a multi-fight contract with the UFC.
