Ahead Of The Octagon's Return To Chicago, We Are Taking A Look At The Last Time The UFC Held An Event In The Windy City Six Years Ago
It’s sort of wild that more than six years have passed since the Octagon last landed in Chicago. The Windy City first hosted a UFC event in January 2012, when Rashad Evans defeated Phil Davis in the headliner. The mixed martial arts leader would return six more times in the next seven years, including iconic moments such as Robert Whittaker and Yoel Romero’s 2018 classic rematch at UFC 225, which would go on to earn Fight of the Year honors.
