Last year, International Fight Week for the UFC was postponed until September due to the COVID-19 pandemic. In 2022, the 10th anniversary of the fanfest will return to its normal summer schedule.
The UFC announced that International Fight Week will take place from June 27-July 3 in Las Vegas. As part of the ceremony, UFC 276 takes place inside the T-Mobile Arena on July 3.
It's 𝐎𝐅𝐅𝐈𝐂𝐈𝐀𝐋 🙌 Mark your calendars for this epic week!

“We’re excited to announce the return of UFC International Fight Week to Las Vegas this summer and we can’t wait to provide our fans with greater access, a wide variety of activations and more memorable experiences than ever before,” UFC chief operating officer Ike Lawrence Epstein said. “IFW is our annual event celebrating all things UFC and combat sports, and we couldn’t do it without our partners from the Las Vegas Convention and Visitors Authority.”

Additionally, the UFC Hall of Fame Induction Ceremony will take place that week. The Las Vegas Convention Center will also host amateur tournaments starting on June 23. There will be a fan experience event from July 1-2, and, as is normal protocol with fight weeks, there will be weigh-ins, press conferences and more.
In the midst of those festivities, WWE will be hosting its Money in the Bank event on July 2 at Allegiant Stadium in Las Vegas. It is unknown if WWE will be hosting other events during that weekend. As of now, UFC 276 and the Money in the Bank show will not clash with one another.
No main event for UFC 276 has been announced yet. Stay tuned as more details should be released over the next few months.
