For one night in August, Philadelphia certainly won’t look like the City of Brotherly Love.
The UFC announced Tuesday that the octagon will be returning to Philly for the first time in seven years when it hosts UFC 330 on August 15.
The fighters suiting up for the card have not yet been announced.
The Xfinity Mobile Arena, home of the Philadelphia Flyers and 76ers, will host the event.
The last time the UFC set up in Philadelphia was in 2019 for a card headlined by a lightning bout between Justin Gaethje and Edson Barboza. Gaethje, the current interim lightweight champion, won the fight via knockout in Round 1.
Even longer, however, has been the wait for a pay-per-view marquee event in Philly. The last time Philadelphia hosted a numbered card was back in 2011 for UFC 133: Evans vs. Ortiz 2.
This will be the fourth UFC event in Philadelphia.
