UFC President Dana White has announced that a UFC event will be hosted in Manchester, UK. The confirmation came during a press conference for UFC 300. Manchester was chosen in part due to the presence of English champions such as Tom Aspinall and Leon Edwards, with the growing market and fanbase in the UK also playing a significant role in the decision.

In other news, UFC 300, held at the T-Mobile Arena in Las Vegas, featured top fighters including Alex Pereira defending his light-heavyweight title against Jamahal Hill. Strawweight champion Zhang Weili defended her title against Yan Xiaonan, and Justin Gaethje faced Max Holloway for the ‘Baddest Motherf*’ title. The event was broadcast live in the UK on TNT Sports and Discovery+, and in the US on ESPN+ and UFC’s Fight Pass.

Additional fights included well-known athletes such as Charles Oliveira, Aljamain Sterling, Jiri Prochazka, and Holly Holm, contributing to a highly-anticipated event lineup. With UFC 300 now completed, attention turns to Manchester, where the next UFC event is set to bring further excitement to fight fans in the UK.
