UFC and Bellator veteran Neil Grove (11-6-1) returns to Ultimate Challenge MMA to take on UCMMA heavyweight champion Darren Towler (9-6) at UCMMA 31 on Dec. 1 at the Troxy in London, U.K.

UCMMA events are broadcast exclusively on Fight Network in Canada.

Full press release below:

Neil Grove is back, a UFC, Bellator, Super Fight League and a Cage Rage veteran, he has returned to get his belt back from current UCMMA heavyweight champion, Darren Towler. Stepping up after his amazing win against Dayman Lake at UCMMA 30, Towler is hungry for victory and a struggle for power is inevitable like a steam roller to a concrete wall. Then, out of the Christmas fog, emerges the middleweight title showdown with Lloyd Clarkson taking on Ben Callum. This is going be a real banger of a fight as both of these guys are huge for their weight; both fighters are incredibly explosive and athletic. It may be impossible to tell who will win, but this is a match that promises to be a one of a kind spectacle of greatness.

The next amazing present gifted to us is a vacant bantamweight title fight. A UCMMA favorite is on show again as Cory Tait takes on the unbeaten Jody Collins. The unstoppable force meets the immovable object and a new champion will emerge from this war for the UCMMA bantamweight belt.

Beyond the title fights, the greatest fighters return to show the world what they've got. Nick Chapman returns with fire in his eyes as he stars down the barrel at Aurelijus Kerpe. And the great Paul Kelly, a UFC veteran, prepares to do battle against Richard Griffin in a Lightweight showdown. Griffin in his last outing defeated TUF star, Ross Pointon at UCMMA: Punta Cana at Hard Rock Hotel and Casino.

When your planning this year's Christmas, remember to deck the halls with reminders to see this amazing event that is scheduled to be the greatest UKMMA show to date. So back a champ, strap yourself in and get ready for the ride for your life. This is UCMMA 31 Live at London's Troxy.

Happy Christmas from all here at UCMMA!
