The
Ultimate Fighting Championship is headed to the Peach State
later this year.

The Las Vegas-based promotion announced on Saturday night that it
will hold an event at State Farm Arena in Atlanta, Georgia, on June
14. It marks the fifth time the Octagon has touched down in
Atlanta. One significant bout that has been confirmed for UFC
Atlanta is a flyweight clash between Rose
Namajunas and Miranda
Maverick.

The last time the promotion was in Atlanta was April 13, 2019 for
UFC 236. At that event, Dustin
Poirier captured the interim lightweight crown with a
five-round verdict over Max
Holloway in the evening’s featured bout. In the co-headliner,
Israel
Adesanya claimed interim middleweight gold with a memorable
decision triumph over Kelvin
Gastelum in a fight that was recently selected to the UFC Hall
of Fame’s Fight Wing.

Other events in Atlanta include UFC 201 (February 2016), UFC 145
(April 2012) and UFC 88 (September 2008). With two pay-per-views
already slated for June, this will mark the first time Atlanta
hasn’t received a numbered UFC event.
