The UFC is set to make another major splash in Australia next year, with a Fight Night confirmed for Perth in mid-2025, according to a reliable source close to the promotion. This event will mark the UFC’s return to Western Australia after the hugely successful UFC 284 in February 2023, completing the existing deal between the UFC and the Perth government.
Two UFC Events Locked for Australia in 2025
The first of the two Australian events is already set for Sydney in February, continuing the UFC’s commitment to showcasing top-tier talent in the Asia-Pacific region. However, the bigger news for Western Australian fans is that the UFC will return to Perth for a Fight Night card, likely held at RAC Arena, in what promises to be a landmark mid-year event.
While the Fight Night won’t carry the same pay-per-view (PPV) status as past Australian cards, it will still feature an exciting lineup of international and local talent. Fighters like Jack Della Maddalena, Perth’s own rising UFC star, could potentially be featured on the card, making this a must-attend event for fans.
Perth Government Deal Nearing Completion
The upcoming Fight Night will fulfill the final obligation of the original agreement between the UFC and the Perth government. No word yet on whether a new deal has been signed, but the successful hosting of past events and the economic boost they bring suggests there’s a strong case for an extended partnership.
Why This Matters
The return of the UFC to Perth underscores the city’s growing reputation as a premier destination for international sports. With the rabid Australian fanbase and the global spotlight of a UFC event, this Fight Night is set to solidify Perth’s place on the UFC map.
More details, including the official date and fight card, are expected in the coming months. For now, fans can rest assured: the UFC is coming back to Perth in 2025.
Stay tuned for further updates as we get closer to what promises to be another electrifying year of UFC action in Australia.
