UFC President Dana White on Monday announced the return of fans with no capacity limits to live events starting with UFC 261 next month in Jacksonville, Fla.
In a video, White said the UFC will return to the 15,000-seat VyStar Veteran’s Memorial Arena on April 24, less than one year after a trio of shows that marked the promotion’s return to live event production amid the coronavirus pandemic.
A trio of title fights is planned for the event; a welterweight title rematch between champ Kamaru Usman and Jorge Masvidal; a flyweight title fight between champ Valentina Shevchenko and Jessica Andrade; and a strawweight title fight between champ Zhang Weili and ex-champ Rose Namajunas.
