The UFC will open its 2027 schedule with a Fight Night event in Dallas on Jan. 16, the promotion announced Saturday during UFC 333.
The card at American Airlines Center will mark the organization's seventh visit to Dallas and end its annual holiday hiatus from mid-December to mid-January. No bouts have been confirmed for the event.
All prior Dallas shows have taken place at the same venue, most recently UFC 277 on July 30, 2022. That card featured Amanda Nunes defeating Julianna Peña by unanimous decision in a women's bantamweight title rematch, plus Brandon Moreno stopping Kai Kara-France via third-round TKO for an interim flyweight title.
At UFC 333, Alexander Volkanovski retained his world championship by finishing Movsar Evloev in less than two rounds. Petr Yan also remained world champion after the event.
