The Ultimate Fighting Championship (UFC) is expected to return to Belgrade, Serbia, in late summer 2027. Following a highly successful inaugural event at the Belgrade Arena, which generated approximately $2.5 million in ticket revenue, the organization has expressed strong interest in returning to the city.

UFC CEO Dana White previously praised the local atmosphere and the crowd's energy, stating, “This place delivered everything it was advertised to do. This is a great city, great people and it met all expectations. Absolutely yes, we will be back!”

Reports suggest that a “1+1” contract model may have been signed prior to the initial event, facilitating the possibility of a subsequent appearance. Current discussions point toward August 2027 as the most likely timeframe for the next spectacle in the Serbian capital.
