THE Ultimate Fighting Championship has announced it will return to Glasgow on Sunday July 16 for a second event in Scotland

The first show in 2015 was a huge success, with tickets selling out for Fight Night 72 in 25 minutes.

And the SSE Hydro is set to host the world's biggest mixed martial arts promotion once more after UFC confirmed the date on Twitter on Thursday.

The event will take place on July 16 before the European roadshow travels to Rotterdam in the Netherlands in September and the Polish city of Gdansk in October.
