The UFC will hit the road next month for a city it’s visited only one time before.
When UFC on ESPN 44 sets up shop at T-Mobile Center in Kansas City, Mo., on Saturday, it will the promotion’s first visit to the city in six years – and just its second ever.
That means after the event is over, we can remove mighty K.C. from this list of the one-time-only UFC cities in the U.S. (We’ve also presented a separate look at the international cities the UFC has gone to just once.)
(Note: Some cities technically qualify for the list – like Albuquerque, N.M., which the UFC went to in 2014. But because the UFC went to Rio Rancho, N.M., a near suburb of Albuquerque, in 2020, we grouped the two together. So Rosemont, Ill., doesn’t make the cut because it’s a near suburb of Chicago, which the UFC has been to several times. Sure, that makes this list slightly arbitrary. But you’ll forgive us.)
