UFC is heading again to Utah for the primary of two October pay-per-view occasions.
On Thursday, the promotion formally introduced that UFC 307 takes place Oct. 5 on the Delta Middle in Salt Lake Metropolis. It is going to be UFC’s return to the town for the primary time since UFC 291 on July 2023, which was capped off by Justin Gaethje’s head-kick knockout of Dustin Poirier to win the BMF title.
In August 2022, the Delta Middle performed host to one of many wildest moments in UFC historical past when Leon Edwards delivered an out-of-nowhere head kick to knock out Kamaru Usman within the fifth spherical to win the welterweight title at UFC 278.
No fights have been formally introduced for the cardboard, though MMA Combating confirmed a number of matchups which are slated for the pay-per-view lineup, together with Movsar Evloev vs. Aljamain Sterling, Jose Aldo vs. Mario Bautista, and Kayla Harrison vs. Ketlen Vieira.
UFC 307 takes place three weeks previous to UFC 308, which is about for Oct. 26 in Abu Dhabi.
