The upcoming December is shrouded in rumors and controversies in the world of UFC. There have been rumors that UFC may finally return to Dublin, Ireland, for the December event; however, this statement has yet to be confirmed and authenticated. The last time the MMA organization hosted a fight card in Ireland was in 2015.

A recent MMA organization inadvertently disclosed the potential timeline for a UFC event in Ireland. It has been nearly a decade since the UFC last hosted a fight in Ireland. However, Dana White appears to hold a differing perspective regarding these leaked details.

Dana White addresses questions on UFC in Ireland and China

Dana White recently had a press conference on the sidelines of the Dana White’s Contender Series. While he was at the conference, he addressed the question about the potential line up for UFC in Ireland and China. White quoted “You know we are getting thin on fu**ing questions at the contender series when you guys are asking me about China fights, this better be good what do you got?”

When being asked by a reporter about the Ireland lineup. The reporter said, “I know you are kind of abashed on that China stuff, but there’s also rumbling about Ireland in December. Is that true?”. White responded to it and remarked that the reporter was going in the right direction but he diverted from China to Ireland. He further said that he doesn’t have any idea about the matter as of now. White quoted  “You had to f**k this whole thing up, didn’t you? You were on point and now we are in fu**ing Ireland. I have no idea if we’re going to Ireland yet. You blew it kid you blew it.”

The prospective UFC return to Ireland in December 2023

Speculation abounds regarding the UFC’s potential return to the emerald shores of Ireland, with a prospective date in December 2023 tantalizing fans. These whispers first surfaced following a purported revelation by an MMA management agency, hinting at a forthcoming UFC event on Irish soil.

These talks further gained momentum when HD Global Athlete Management made a public proclamation via Instagram. The post stated “Pleased to announce @jamie_mullarkey has signed a new multi-fight deal with the @ufc Jamie 3.1.0 in his last 4 fights will be looking to get out next in Ireland 🇮🇪 in December if we can make it happen. Congrats Jamie, well deserved”. Their statement heralded a fresh contractual agreement for their client, UFC lightweight luminary Jamie Mullarkey. Eagerly anticipated is Mullarkey’s debut under this renewed pact, slated tentatively for the Dublin stage this December. However, it is crucial to underscore that until the UFC officially confirms these intentions, they remain the province of conjecture.
