With the advancement of vaccination against Covid-19 in the United States and the release of restriction measures, Dana White is beginning to plan the return of the UFC to other American cities. In an interview with 'Bleacher Report', the organization's president mentioned some locations that should host numbered Ultimate events soon.

“I will keep the events smaller here at the 'Apex' in Las Vegas and we are looking for new places to host the numbered cards. In September I'm looking at Boston, Dallas, Anaheim, Fort Lauderdale, Newark and other cities. I don’t know what will be open and what will work by then, but we’ll see,” said the president.

With the return of events after the shutdown due to the Covid-19 pandemic, Ultimate preferred to keep its shows in Las Vegas (USA). In April, the organization made the UFC 261 in Jacksonville and the UFC 262 in Houston, his first public events in America.

Two more editions with maximum capacity of fans have already been programmed by the company: the UFC 263 will be held in Glendale, Arizona. Already the UFC 264 will mark the return of Ultimate to its current main home, the T-Mobile Arena in Las Vegas.
