The Ultimate Fighting Championship will journey to mainland China for the first time ever on Nov. 25.
The Las Vegas-based promotion announced on Saturday that it will hold the landmark event at the Mercedes-Benz Arena in Shanghai, China. No bouts were announced for the card.
“We are always asked when the UFC will be making its debut in mainland China,” UFC Senior Vice President of International and Content Joe Carr said in a release. “We are honored to confirm that Shanghai will be the home of the very first live UFC event in mainland China and to say that we are excited is an understatement.
