The UFC is making its return trip to Hamburg, Germany this July.
On Tuesday, UFC officials announced that the promotion would be making its return to Hamburg, its first visit to the city since 2016. Taking place on July 22, the show will go down at the Barclaycard Arena, the same venue that hosted the promotion last time out. No main event has been announced for the card, though Peter Sobbota, Jarjis Danho, and others have been linked to the event.

Though not officially stated, the event is likely to serve as UFC Fight Night 133. The previous Fight Night event goes down in June in Singapore, while International Fight Week consists of The Ultimate Fighter: Undefeated Finale as well as UFC 226 earlier in July.
The last time the UFC touched down in Hamburg, it brought a heavyweight scrap in the main event featuring a pair of former UFC champions. Josh Barnett got the better of Andrei Arlovski that night, as the ‘Warmaster’ submitted ‘Pitbull’ by rear-naked choke in the third round. Alexander Gustafsson picked up a unanimous decision win over Jan Blachowicz in the co-main event that night.
Tickets for UFC Hamburg go on sale Friday, April 27 at 10 AM CEST. A main event is likely to be announced shortly.
