The UFC has a new home-away-from-home, announcing a multi-event partnership with the Toyota Center in Houston.
The merger begins with UFC 265 on August 7. That card features Derrick Lewis vs. Cyril Gane for the interim heavyweight title and Amanda Nunes defending her bantamweight belt vs. Julianna Pena.
“I love the city of Houston. We had a sold-out event in May, the city and fans are incredible, so we are heading right back in August,” UFC President Dana White said. “Working with Tilman and his team has been amazing and we will continue making Toyota Center a home for UFC, including bringing another PPV to the city next year.”
The UFC sold out the arena for UFC 262 this past May. Another pay-per-view is planned for 2022.
“We are fortunate to have a venue like Toyota Center in the great city of Houston,” said Houston Rockets owner Tilman Fertitta. “As the operator of Toyota Center, it is always going to be our goal to bring more exciting, high-quality entertainment to our community.”
Several other bouts are set for the card in August including Jose Aldo vs. Pedro Munhoz and Michael Chiesa vs. Vicente Luque.
