Jan 11, 2023 | 12:21 PM

Canadian flyweight Malcolm (X) Gordon will face England’s Jake (White Kong) Hadley on March 18 at UFC 286 in London.

The mixed martial arts card is being held at the O2 Arena.

Gordon (14-6-0) is coming off a submission loss to unbeaten English 125-pounder Muhammed Mokaev at UFC 280 in October in Abu Dhabi.

The 32-year-old Gordon, a native of Calgary who now calls Toronto home, is 2-3-0 in the UFC. He beat Ukraine’s Denys (Psycho) Bondar and Brazil’s Francisco (Sniper) Figueiredo prior to running into Mokaev.

He lost his first two UFC outings, beaten by Sweden’s Amir (The Prince) Albazi and China’s Su (Tibetan Eagle) Mudaerji.
