The UFC will return to Chicago in June, but for the first time in history, the city’s marquee venue will get a pay-per-view event from the promotion. UFC 225 is set to take place June 9 at United Center, the UFC announced tonight. The previous five octagon stops in “The Windy City” were part of the UFC on FOX series, with the most recent being UFC on FOX 20 in July 2016. The promotion also visited the Chicago suburb of Rosemont in 2008 for UFC 90.
