UFC 307 officially announced for Oct. 5 in Salt Lake City
UFC is heading back to Utah for the first of two October pay-per-view events.
On Thursday, the promotion officially announced that UFC 307 takes place Oct. 5 at the Delta Center in Salt Lake City. It will be UFC’s return to the city for the first time since UFC 291 on July 2023, which was capped off by Justin Gaethje’s head-kick knockout of Dustin Poirier to win the BMF title.
In August 2022, the Delta Center played host to one of the wildest moments in UFC history when Leon Edwards delivered an out-of-nowhere head kick to knock out Kamaru Usman in the fifth round to win the welterweight title at UFC 278.
No fights have been officially announced for the card, although MMA Fighting confirmed several matchups that are slated for the pay-per-view lineup, including Movsar Evloev vs. Aljamain Sterling, Jose Aldo vs. Mario Bautista, and Kayla Harrison vs. Ketlen Vieira.
UFC 307 takes place three weeks prior to UFC 308, which is set for Oct. 26 in Abu Dhabi.
