The UFC had no events scheduled for Asia in 2016. Until now.
For the second straight year, the UFC will hold a show in the Philippines, the promotion announced Wednesday night. UFC Fight Night in Manila will take place Oct. 15 at the Mall of Asia Arena.
UFC bantamweight contender John Dodson made the announcement in Manila with UFC Asia executive vice president and general manager Ken Berger.
