UFC makes Long Island debut with UFC on FOX 25 in July

This July sees the UFC continue its promise of bringing events to New York, when the promotion visits Long Island for the first time.

UFC officials today announced that NYCB LIVE, Home of The Nassau Veterans Memorial Coliseum, plays host to UFC on FOX 25 on July 22.

The promotion did not reveal any intended bouts for the card. Tickets go on sale June 2.

New York was the last state in the U.S. to legalize MMA, and UFC officials long expressed their desire to visit the Empire State. That ban was lifted in 2016, and the promotion made its debut in New York City with the blockbuster UFC 205 event.

February’s UFC 208 event took place in Brooklyn, and next week’s UFC 210 sees the octagon touch down in Buffalo.
