UFC Dublin main event set to be Robert Whittaker vs Darren Till

UFC are planning a seismic return to Ireland as they finalise a massive main event for the promotion's return to Dublin.

According to ESPN and several other publications, Darren Till and Robert Whittaker are being lined up to headline the 3Arena return in a high-profile middleweight bout.

The promotion announced a return to the capital last month, and with tickets yet to go on sale, we're already looking at a sell out.

Whittaker (20-5) held the UFC middleweight strap for the guts of two years until last August, when he was defeated by Israel Adesenya in October.

And the New Zealand-born Australian was due to fight Till this month, with the fight being pulled after the Liverpool fighter picked up an injury.

No other bouts have been confirmed for the card.
