Perth, Australia Expected to Host UFC 284 in February

The Ultimate Fighting Championship is expected to head Down Under for the first time since 2019 early next year.

According to Perth Now, UFC 284 will take place at RAC Arena in Perth, Australia, on Feb. 11. An official announcement is expected to come later this week.

The Las Vegas-based promotion last visited Australia for UFC 243 in October 2019. The card’s main event saw Israel Adesanya claim the middleweight throne with a second-round knockout of Robert Whittaker.

The Octagon hasn’t touched down in Perth, however, since Feb. 10, 2018, when Yoel Romero knocked out Luke Rockhold in the third round of the UFC 221 headliner.
