February 11 as per UFC Facebook.
Until recently, MMA was only legal in Western Australia if it was held in a ring. Cage fighting was banned.
The new government legalised cage fighting and UFC has duly obliged.
Cant wait!
Hopefully it's a decent card
Hopefully they put Chris Fishgold on it.
I just read an article from the local newspapers Facebook page and according to that Robert Whittaker will be fighting on this card, likely against the winner of this weekends fight!
Massive if true but I'll believe it when Dana says it

UFC just shared an article stating that the intention is to have the middleweight unification bout on this card.
Whittaker will be ringside this weekend.
No 1 cawkgobbler -Fuck yes, finally a UFC in my home city.
Hopefully it's at a sociable hour for us

Kimbo K -Won't happen. If Bisping wins his next fight will be in England and GSP isn't fighting Whitaker if he wins.UFC Targets MW Title Unification Between Robert Whittaker and Bisping-GSP Winner for Perth Debut at UFC 221 https://t.co/Rv9GRwWVA2 pic.twitter.com/xU7I04V6fA

Lights Out Lurker - Bisping will not fight Whitaker in Australia, don't get your hopes up. It will be a Fight Night/Fight Pass level card with all unknown locals and one fringe top ten guy headlining....sorry
Gtfo of here with your negativity!
Let us dream damn it
Hell yes! Shit is gonna be awesome, can't wait to suss out seats
Fuck yea Perth! Can’t wait for this sleepy city to get some excitement 
I'm not sure if i see bisping or gsp defending the belt 4 months later I'm thinking if anything whittaker will probably defend his interim title against rockhold
Bisping might retire if he wins anyway so whittaker/rockhold might be for the undisputed championship
Bisping or GSP will if the UFC tell them too.
I doubt Bisping wants to get stripped for refusing. If he beats GSP, his options are that, or retire.
It’s probably in GSP’s contract he has to face who they say and where they say.
The winner should be fine in 4 months.
Australia deserves a strong card.

Woodley is saying he gets the next MW title shot. I'll be so disappointed if he fights Whittaker.
At least Whittaker will KO him

Me neither and it's the winner of this weekends fight he wants anyway.
don’t get your hopes to high.
Sounds like a prime candidate for a regional show.

It’s a ppv. UFC 221. That doesn’t mean it won’t be a regional strength card though
I hope you lot out west get a decent card but I'm sus, Bisping was supposed to fight Whittaker in Melbourne but Bisping pulled out. We were supposed to get Condit vs Lawler also.
If your buying tickets solely for Whittaker I'd hold off until the date draws closer.
