UFC officials today announced that tickets for the promotion’s return to Australia at UFC 127 sold out in just 30 minutes, equaling a record set this past June at UFC 115 in Canada.
“UFC 127: Penn vs. Fitch” takes place Feb. 27 at Acer Arena in Sydney, Australia. The same venue also hosted the UFC’s Australian debut, UFC 110, which took place this past February. As with the UFC’s first trip to Australia, the event takes place on Sunday afternoon, but due to the time change between the two countries, U.S. fans will be able to view the pay-per-view in its customary Saturday-night timeslot.
The UFC 127 lineup includes:
MAIN CARD
- Jon Fitch vs. B.J. Penn
- Michael Bisping vs. Jorge Rivera
- Dennis Siver vs. George Sotiropoulos
