UFC is returning to Macau for the first time in 10 years.

No fights were officially announced for the card.
UFC has hosted three previous events in Macau, all taking place at CotaiArena. In the most recent trip, Bisping stopped Le in the fourth round via TKO. Tyron Woodley competed in the co-main event, knocking out Dong Hyun Kim in just 61 seconds. The card also featured Colby Covington in a preliminary fight earning a first-round TKO win over Anying Wang.
Le also headlined the UFC’s first Macau card, knocking out Rich Franklin in the first round in an event that aired on Fuel TV in November 2012. The second fight card in Macau took place in March 2014, and was finale for The Ultimate Fighter: China, which was capped off by Kim knocking out John Hathaway with a spinning elbow.
