UFC 330 is scheduled for August 15 at the Xfinity Mobile Arena in Philadelphia, marking the promotion's return to the city after more than seven years. This event will feature a championship bout, the first of its kind in Pennsylvania in 15 years. Pennsylvania Governor Josh Shapiro expressed excitement about hosting the UFC as part of the state's celebration of America 250, which includes various major sporting events. UFC CEO Dana White echoed these sentiments, highlighting Philadelphia's strong history as a fight town. The last UFC event in the city was UFC on ESPN 2 on March 30, 2019, where Justin Gaethje achieved a first-round knockout victory over Edson Barboza. The UFC's return is part of a broader initiative to partner with local governments and organizations to host marquee events worldwide.
