"The Las Vegas-based promotion announced on Saturday that a UFC Fight Night event will be held on July 18 at the Paycom Center in Oklahoma City, Oklahoma. No bouts were confirmed for the card, which will air in its entirety on Paramount+."
""We are honored to host the first UFC event in Oklahoma in nearly 10 years," said Paycom Center general manager Chris Semrau in a release. "The community has been asking for this kind of event for years, and we're very excited to finally bring the highest level of MMA back to Oklahoma City. This will surely be one of the major events of the summer for the region.""
"The promotion hasn't been to Oklahoma City since June 25, 2017, when Kevin Lee scored a controversial first-round submission of Michael Chiesa at UFC Fight Night 112. The upcoming event will be the UFC's third visit to Oklahoma City overall."
"The UFC event is part of parent company TKO's "expanding network of partnerships with government and private stakeholders around the world who are eager to host UFC's marquee live events, generating meaningful economic and cultural impact and delivering memorable experiences for fans.""
