"Luke Riley is at least two years overdue for his UFC opportunity. Fans have been clamoring for his signing for what feels like forever, and for good reason. Between his fan-friendly fighting style, his standout run in Cage Warriors, and his ties to the ever-growing Next Generation Liverpool camp, he's already a recognizable name across the UK regional scene. He hasn't just built hype-he's built a résumé. Across both his amateur and professional careers, Riley has never tasted defeat, holding a combined 15-0 record."
"The appeal with Riley starts with how he fights. He is genuinely a must-watch every single time he steps into the cage. Some prospects win, and then some prospects entertain while winning-Riley is very clearly the latter. He's simply incapable of being in a dull or uneventful fight. From the opening bell, he wades into range, pressing forward behind combinations and nonstop output. He's a lethal, layered striker who blends speed, volume, and pressure into a style that smothers opponents over time."
Luke Riley debuts on the UFC Qatar preliminary card against Bogdan Grad. Riley is 26 years old, fights at 145 pounds, and stands five-foot-nine. Riley trains out of Next Generation MMA Liverpool and enters the promotion with an 11-0 professional record featuring eight KO/TKOs and no submissions. Riley compiled an undefeated 15-0 combined amateur and professional record and built recognition through Cage Warriors and the UK regional scene. Riley fights with relentless forward pressure, high output, layered striking, speed, and volume, creating entertaining, action-heavy bouts that force opponents to react under sustained pace.
