UFC returns to New Zealand in June for UFC Fight Night 110 in Auckland

For the first time in nearly three years, the UFC is heading to New Zealand.

UFC Fight Night 110 is set for Sunday, June 11 (Saturday, June 10 in North America with the time difference) at Vector Arena in Auckland. UFC officials announced the card during Saturday’s broadcast for UFC 209.

No fights were announced for the card, which will air on FS1 after early prelims on UFC Fight Pass. Six days later, the promotion stays on that side of the world for UFC Fight Night 111 in Singapore.

The UFC first visited New Zealand in June 2014 for UFC Fight Night 43. At that event, Nate Marquardt submitted New Zealand native and Australia resident James Te Huna with a first-round armbar, which won a “Performance of the Night” bonus.

UFC Fight Night 43 drew an announced attendance of more than 8,000 for a live gate in excess of $900,000.

The event will be part of a UFC stretch with four international events in four weeks (Sweden, Brazil, New Zealand and Singapore).
