UFC® 72 was just the third European event to be hosted by UFC and was headlined by a middleweight match up between former champion Rich Franklin and top contender Yushin Okami. Now, some nine years later, UFC will return to Northern Ireland’s capital city, with what is set to be an unforgettable night of mixed martial arts action.

The announcement comes as fan following for the sport of MMA in Ireland reaches an all time high, driven largely by the success of UFC featherweight world champion, Conor McGregor, and the emergence of upcoming stars including Donegal’s Joe Duffy and Dublin’s Aisling Daly.

James Elliott, General Manager and Vice President of UFC EMEA, said "It goes without saying that Ireland is a key market for us, and the popularity of MMA amongst Irish fans continues to grow exponentially year on year.
