UFC 251 confirmed for Perth in June

By on February 25, 2020

The UFC will be returning to Perth in June.

The UFC has confirmed that their upcoming pay-per-view event, UFC 251, will take place at RAC Arena on Sunday, June 7. A flyweight title bout between champion Valentina Shevchenko and Joanne Calderwood is set to be the co-main event. It’s likely the UFC will target Australian featherweight champion Alexander Volkanovski for the headlining spot, however that is yet to be confirmed.

The event will be the UFC’s second in Perth after the promotion’s maiden trip in February 2018 for UFC 221 where Yoel Romero defeated Luke Rockhold in the main event.

 

Rocky Ogden Eyes Gold At ONE Championship: King of the Jungle – ‘I’m Going to Fight My Heart Out’

I’m a Curtin University writing graduate born and bred in beautiful Perth, WA. My interest in combat sports started with an invitation to a Ladies’ BJJ class. It wasn’t long before I started to follow MMA religiously. Although I love training, I’m definitely more writer than fighter. I wanted to tell the incredible stories involved, so I got involved. I’m really passionate about covering the Australian scene and being a (teeny, tiny) part of growing it.
