The Las Vegas-based promotion confirmed on Tuesday that UFC 275 will be held at Singapore Indoor Stadium and is headlined by a light heavyweight title tilt between Glover Teixeira and Jiri Prochazka. The card will also see women’s flyweight champion Valentina Shevchenko defend her belt against Taila Santos, while ex-middleweight champion Robert Whittaker takes on Marvin Vettori in a pivotal middleweight clash.

Two other bouts were also announced for UFC 275: Brendan Allen vs. Jacob Malkoun at middleweight and Kyung Ho Kang vs. Saimon Oliveira at featherweight.

The event marks that organization’s first trip to the country since October 2019, when Demian Maia submitted Ben Askren in the UFC Fight Night 162 main event. The UFC has held five cards in Singapore overall.
