UFC’s return to Southern California has been changed again, only this time it’s earlier.
UFC 214, which had been scheduled for Aug. 5 at the Honda Center, has been moved up a week and will take place Saturday, July 29, in Anaheim.
The UFC was originally coming back Jan. 21 with UFC 208 at the Honda Center, which just so happened to coincide with Bellator 170 featuring former UFC legends Tito Ortiz and Chael Sonnen at The Forum.Yet on Dec. 1, presumably because few top-quality fighters were available, UFC 208 was moved to Feb. 11 at Barclays ?lbet Center in Brooklyn, N.Y. The UFC, in sticking with its plan to come back to So Cal, pegged early August for its return.No fights for UFC 214 have been announced.
This is the UFC’s first return to the Honda Center since UFC 157 in 2013, when then-bantamweight champion Ronda Rousey defeated Liz Carmouche in the first women’s fight in UFC history.
