The card will take place at the Royal Arena in Copenhagen. No fights were announced for the event, however, any number of Danish fighters will likely be interested in appearing.
The UFC has never before been to Denmark, making this a first for the promotion. Tickets will go on sale later this month, with a general sale date of June 21.
Numerically, UFC Copenhagen will be UFC on ESPN+ 18, or UFC Fight Night 160, for those counting. September looks to be a big month for the UFC, as four cards will go down. UFC 242, expected to be headlined by Khabib Nurmagomedov vs. Dustin Poirier, will kick off the month in Abu Dhabi. That PPV event will be followed by three Fight Night shows, capped off by UFC Copenhagen at the end of the month.
Expect more news on the Copenhagen card to come over the next few weeks.
