UFC coming back to Perth
UFC MMA fight action is returning to Perth.
Tourism Western Australia has inked a multiyear partnership which sees UFC return to Perth with two events starting with UFC 305 at RAC Arena on August 18.
UFC 305 marks the third time Perth has hosted a UFC Pay-Per-View event following UFC 221: ROMERO vs. ROCKHOLD in February 2018, and most recently, UFC 284: MAKHACHEV vs. VOLKANOVSKI in February 2023.
Under the new agreement, UFC will also work closely with Tourism WA to bring one additional mixed martial arts event to the city.
“Perth, I am so excited to be coming back!” said UFC CEO, Dana White.
“After a record-breaking event in 2023, I can’t wait to bring another massive pay-per-view to Western Australia.
In February 2023, UFC 284: MAKHACHEV vs. VOLKANOVSKI broke RAC Arena records for revenue and sporting event attendance.
It delivered an estimated $42.8 million of total economic and flow-on benefits with more than 9,000 international or interstate visitors travelling to Perth.
“The return of UFC to Perth in 2024 is a major coup for Western Australia, following the roaring success of UFC 284 that injected millions into our economy last year,” said WA Premier Roger Cook.
“UFC has proven to be a huge drawcard with a dedicated fan base.”
Fighter match ups for UFC 305 will be announced at a later date.
UFC travel packages are available from today via Sportsnet Holidays.
VIP Experience packages will be available soon via On Location, UFC’s Official VIP Experience Provider.
Since 2010, UFC has presented 17 live events in Australia, including sold-out shows at Sydney’s Qudos Bank Arena, Melbourne’s Rod Laver Arena, Perth Arena, Brisbane Entertainment Centre, Adelaide Entertainment Centre and Gold Coast Convention Centre.
