Fight fans across the country have been sent into frenzy after the UFC confirmed they will make their highly-anticipated return to Manchester on July 27th.  The organisation revealed that they've booked their first pay-per-view event in the north of England since 2016 - with UFC 304 set to take place in Manchester. The huge card will be the first sporting event to be held at the £365million Co-op Live arena - the largest indoor entertainment venue in the UK.

It will be seven years since the UK hosted a major UFC pay-per-view card as the big show returns to town next month. The UFC 286 has been confirmed as the numbered event at London's O2 Arena on March 18 with Leon Edwards starring Kamaru Usman in a trilogy fight. It has the makings of the biggest night of MMA to be seen on UK soil ever. Michael Bisping defended his middleweight title in a five-round match against old adversare Dan Henderson in Manchester back in 2016.

In London, UFC 286 will be the first numbered match to take place in the United Kingdom since Michael Bisping versus Dan Henderson in 2016. The news came as Dana White, the company's chief, shared his aspirations earlier this year. In 2022, the UFC president had two highly profitable cards at the O2 Arena, and it's no surprise that another event has been scheduled for March 18 next year. No fights have been announced at this point, but Leon Edwards' trilogy against Kamaru Usman will almost definitely be the most notable.
