After a successful maiden voyage Down Under in 2010, the UFC will be returning in 2011.
MMA Fighting has learned that UFC 127 will be held in Sydney, Australia on Sunday, Feb. 27, 2011 (Feb. 26 in North American time zones).
The event is likely to be held at the Acer Arena, site of UFC 110 in February 2010.
UFC 110 was the promotion's first trip to Australia, and a paid audience of 17,831 filled the Acer, setting an attendance record for a UFC event outside of North America. To date, that number remains the largest crowd of 2010, as fans paid a $2.5 million gate.
In the main event of UFC 110, Cain Velaquez knocked out Antonio Rodrigo Nogueira in the first round to earn a heavyweight title shot. He later cashed in his opportunity at UFC 121, earning a TKO win to beat Brock Lesnar and become the champ.
No matchups have yet to be determined for UFC 127, though a welterweight scrap between Chris Lytle and Carlos Condit seems a prime possibility for the event.

i doubt they will bring a title fight... george will almost definitely be fighting... but more likely in a number 1 contenders match... i think the 110 card was ok but could have been better... time will tell i guess... im hoping for some good fights but im not gonna hold my breathe... =\
Their wont be a lightweight title fight. Frankie Edger is fighting January 1st. Plus the winner will fight the winner of the Ben Henderson Petits fight.
But Carlos Condit vs. Chris Lytle is going to be on there!
Quote:
Two streaking welterweights could go to war on Feb. 27 when Carlos Condit reportedly takes on Chris Lytle at the upcoming UFC 127 pay-per-view event in the promotion's return to Australia.
The incomparable Showdown Joe Ferraro brought word of the pending match-up earlier today.
Condit (26-5) raised his stock considerably after pulverizing Dan Hardy at UFC 120 across the pond just last month. It was the third straight victory for the former WEC Welterweight Champion (and his second straight stoppage) and a win over Lytle could make a strong argument for "The Natural Born Killer's" place among the current title contenders.
But don't expect any free passes from Lytle (30-17-5), who could be knocking on the contender's door himself.
That's because "Light's Out" has seemingly gotten his second wind in the 170-pound division, winning four straight contests and racking up another collection of "Fight Night" bonuses.
The Indianapolis firefighter was last seen beating down a stocky and cocky Matt Serra at UFC 119 back in September and by Lytle's own admission, "it's now or never" for his run at the welterweight title.
Carlos Condit vs. Chris Lytle. Fight of the night? Of the year?
