UFC returns to Shanghai in August for Fight Night event
The UFC returns to Shanghai for the first time in almost eight years.
Promotion officials announced Thursday morning that a UFC Fight Night event will take place Aug. 23 at Shanghai Indoor Stadium in Shanghai. No fights have been announced for the card.
This marks the first event in Shanghai since UFC Fight Night 122, which was headlined by Kelvin Gastelum vs. Michael Bisping in November 2017. Gastelum defeated Bisping by first-round knockout, marking the Brit's final fight.
A day prior on Aug. 22, the Season 4: Road to UFC semifinals will take place in the same venue.
The UFC's most recent trip to China took place last November in Macau, where former champion Petr Yan defeated Deiveson Figueiredo in the UFC Fight Night 248 main event.
