UFC will make its highly-anticipated return to the UK this summer, after Manchester's Co-op Live was announced as the host for UFC 304.
The event will take place on Saturday, July 27 and will be the first European event of 2024.
There had been plenty of speculation that it would be heading to Manchester this year, with interim heavyweight champion Tom Aspinall already confirming he was set to be on the card.
And UFC president and CEO Dana White has now rubber-stamped the rumours.
"I’m so excited to get back to Manchester," he said. "And no better time than this summer.
"We have two champions from the UK and fans have been dying for a UFC PPV event. So here we come to the largest indoor arena in the UK. See you soon, England!”
Co-op Live will be the UK's largest indoor arena when it opens this year, and UFC 304 will be the first sporting event held there.
Aspinall is sure to bring a big crowd with him after his sensational first round win over Sergei Pavlovich at UFC 295 in November, a contest that lasted just over a minute.
His opponent for the summer is yet to be confirmed, but the action will get underway at 23:00 UK time, with a stacked main card from 03:00.
Gary Roden, Co-op Live Executive Director & General Manager, added: “With the north of England home to so many of the world’s leading fighters, we are primed and ready for UFC and its knowledgeable, passionate fanbase.
"Offering a state-of-the-art platform for globally broadcast events, Co-op Live is extremely proud to welcome entertainment of this scale and calibre as the future home of combat sports in the UK.”
