UFC 165 heads to Air Canada Centre in Toronto on Sept. 21


air-canada-centre.jpgThe UFC will return to Toronto in September for a pay-per-view that will be UFC 165.

UFC officials on Tuesday made the announcement on FUEL TV’s “UFC Tonight.”

UFC 165 will take place Sept. 21 at Air Canada Centre. No main event or other fights were announced for the card.

The show will be the UFC’s fourth in the Ontario city, which is the largest in Canada. Most recently, UFC 152 took place at Air Canada Centre on Sept. 22, 2012 – so UFC 165 will return there exactly a year later to the weekend.

At UFC 152, light heavyweight champion Jon Jones defended his title with a fourth-round submission of Vitor Belfort. That card drew 16,800 fans for a gate of $1.9 million.

Before that, the UFC’s two trips to Toronto were to Air Canada Centre for UFC 140 and Rogers Centre for UFC 129, the promotion’s first stadium show, which drew a North American record 55,724 fans and a gate in excess of $12 million.

The UFC was in Canada in March for UFC 158 at Montreal’s Bell Centre, where Georges St-Pierre defended his welterweight title against Nick Diaz. Next month, the UFC makes its first trip to Winnipeg for UFC 161, which features an interim bantamweight title fight between Renan Barao and challenger Eddie Wineland.

After UFC 161, the UFC will have held 14 events in Canada, which will pull it ahead of the United Kingdom for second place behind the United States.
