According to
Perth Now, UFC 284 will take place at RAC Arena in Perth,
Australia, on Feb. 11. An official announcement is expected to come
later this week.
The Las Vegas-based promotion last visited Australia for UFC 243 in
October 2019. The card’s main event saw Israel
Adesanya claim the middleweight throne with a second-round
knockout of Robert
Whittaker.
The Octagon hasn’t touched down in Perth, however, since Feb. 10,
2018, when Yoel Romero
knocked out Luke
Rockhold in the third round of the UFC 221 headliner. Adesanya
made his promotional debut on that card, knocking out current PFL
finalist Rob
Wilkinson.
