Fans who wondered what happened to International Fight Week during last weekend’s UFC 264 no longer need to fear the end of the annual festivities.
One of the UFC’s signature events will return in 2021 — just on a different date. The locally based mixed martial arts promotion announced Saturday night that International Fight Week festivities will be held from Tuesday Sept. 21 to Saturday Sept. 25 in Las Vegas, culminating with UFC 166 at T-Mobile Arena.
The pay-per-view card will be headlined by three five-round fights. A featherweight championship bout between Alexander Volkanovski and Brian Ortega will fill the main event after a women’s flyweight title fight between Valentina Shevchenko and Lauren Murphy.
