The
Ultimate Fighting Championship will be returning to the Windy
City this summer.
The Las Vegas-based promotion announced on Wednesday that it will hold UFC on Fox 20 in Chicago at the United Center on July 23. No bouts were confirmed for the event, but the main card will be broadcast on the Fox Network, with prelims likely airing on Fox Sports 1 and UFC Fight Pass.
It will be the UFC’s sixth trip to the Chicago area, the first of which was UFC 90 in Rosemont, which is a suburb of the city. The next four visits were all Fox cards and took place at the United Center.
Most recently, UFC on Fox 16 went down in Chicago on July 25 and saw T.J. Dillashaw retain his bantamweight title in a rematch against Renan Barao via fourth-round TKO in the evening’s main event.
