2018 might just mark the year the UFC makes the trip over to Russia for the first time.
Staff of one of Moscow’s biggest arenas, Olympiyskiy Stadium, confirmed to RT Sport on Friday that the promotion currently holds two back-to-back dates, Sept. 14 and Sept. 15, at the venue. At the time of this writing, the UFC has not announced any news regarding an event in Russia.
Typically, scheduling venues are part of early preparations of booking a UFC card. In other words, the UFC may not be fully committed to a Russia card in September just yet, but has already put a hold on a venue, since that is the direction plans are headed in.
