After announcing that it will hold annual editions in April in Sweden, the UFC may also be planning to organize one event per year, in December, in Australia. This is because, according to information from the newspaper “The Daily Telegraph”, Ultimate should arrive again in the country on a date close to Christmas this year.

The information was confirmed to the diary by UFC operations director, Tom Wright. “”As it stands, I don’t think the event will be held in pay-per-view", he said. “It’s more likely to be on FX. And these events, as you know, have hosted some big fights in recent times. So, I'm working towards a title fight”, added the director.
