UFC seriously exploring possibility of event in Liverpool later this year

Is the UFC finally headed to “The Pool”?

According to multiple sources, the promotion is currently seriously exploring the possibility of holding an event in Liverpool, England later this year. While plans have yet to be finalized at this time, the belief is the UFC is close to finalizing its plans.

One scenario discussed is moving the planned May 27 show in Dublin, Ireland, which has not been officially announced by the UFC but reported by MMAFighting.com, to Liverpool, per sources.

The UFC has never held an event in Liverpool. The general consensus is it would do incredibly well, especially with the emergence of local star Darren Till leading the way.
