Luke Riley and Shem Rock Seek Redemption at UFC London Luke Riley and his teammate Shem Rock are aiming for "repeat and redemption" as they prepare for their UFC London showdown on Saturday. Riley, a 12-0 fighter, is part of the co-main event against Michael Aswell Jr., a 11-3 opponent. The matchup marks Riley’s return to the UFC after a knockout victory on his debut in Qatar last year. Rock, who also made his UFC debut on the same card, is seeking to bounce back from a decision loss to a top-tier opponent. Both fighters made weight comfortably in London on Friday, setting the stage for a high-stakes night of competition. Riley, who has maintained a perfect record, emphasized his confidence ahead of the fight. "He’s a fighter, he’s game, he’s tough," Riley told TNT Sports. "But I’m just going to be quicker to the mark, faster, speed kills. I’ve put on muscle, feel good... go time tomorrow, the hard parts done, we’re ready. He’s done tomorrow. Repeat, and redemption [for Rock]." Rock, meanwhile, is focused on proving his worth after his debut defeat. He faces Abdul Al-Selwady, a 15-4 fighter, and has high ambitions for his UFC career. "I feel in much better shape," Rock said. "Show people what we’re made of and then get over to the Vegas cards and do what Paddy Pimblett’s doing. I’m better than him everywhere, he’s short, I out-range him, I’m faster than him, I’m stronger than him, and if he wants to wrestle, then good luck." The event also features a main card showdown between Kurtis Campbell, an undefeated 8-0 fighter, and Danny Silva. Campbell, part of the "Scouse takeover" of The O2 alongside Riley and Rock, is expected to make a strong impression. The main event will see Lerone Murphy, a 17-0-1 fighter, challenge Movsar Evloev, a 19-0 unbeaten contender, for the featherweight title.#luke_riley #shem_rock #ufc_london #michael_aswell_jr #abdul_al_selwady
