UFC 251 is a mixed martial arts event produced by the Ultimate Fighting Championship that will take place on July 11, 2020 at a yet TBD location.[1] It was originally planned to take place on June 6 at Perth Arena in Perth, Australia.[2] Due to the COVID-19 pandemic, the event was eventually postponed on April 9.[3]
Background
The event would have marked the promotion's second visit to Perth, following UFC 221 in February 2018. However, the promotion later announced on May 5 that it would officially postpone the realization of this event in Perth.[4]
While not officially announced by the organization, a UFC Featherweight Championship rematch between current champion Alexander Volkanovski and former champion Max Holloway was expected to headline the event.[5] The pairing first met at UFC 245, where Volkanovski defeated Holloway via unanimous decision to capture the title.[6]
A UFC Women's Flyweight Championship bout between current champion Valentina Shevchenko and Joanne Calderwood was expected to take place at the event.[7] However, Shevchenko was forced to withdraw from the event on March 31 due to a leg injury and the bout was postponed.[8]
New event date
The event has been rescheduled for July 11, at a yet TBD location.[1] It is also expected to take place on the UFC's "Fight Island".[9]
