Former UFC Middleweight Champion Robert Whittaker and Darren Till were reportedly going to headline the card, but they will now headline the Fight Night event scheduled for July 25. No other fights, including the reported main event, were made official before the event’s cancellation. 

There is no word yet on when the UFC will return to the country of Ireland, but the promotion did say they plan on returning there in the “near future.”
