UFC officially announces return to St. Louis

Thirteen months after the promotion held an event in Kansas City, the promotion will return to the state with a UFC Fight Night event May 11 at Enterprise Center in St. Louis, it was announced Saturday during the UFC 299 broadcast. Eurosport NL first reported the location as a frontrunner.

The event marks the second time the promotion has held an event in St. Louis. The first event was a UFC Fight Night headlined by Jeremy Stephens vs. Doo Ho Choi in January 2018.
