Some much needed good news for Irish MMA fans, a date has been set for UFC Dublin

Clear your calendars ladies and gents, the big show is coming back to town.

The UFC have today confirmed that their third trip to Dublin has been slated for October 24th which gives plenty of time for the Irish UFC fighters competing in July to recover. Conor McGregor may be too huge a draw for the UFC to use as a Fight Night headliner but the event, which will take place at the 3Arena could feature the likes of Cathal Pendred, Joseph Duffy, Paddy Holohan, Neil Seery, Aisling Daly and Paul Redmond. Tickets go on sale on September 4th and will be expected to be snatched up in similarly record time to last time around due to the massive levels of popularity that the UFC are finding in our little land.
