The date for the heavily rumoured UFC Dublin event may have been leaked.
The management team of UFC lightweight Jamie Mullarkey (HD Global Athlete Management) took to Instagram to announce that Australian fighter had signed a new three-fight deal with the UFC. But that’s not all that they may have revealed.
In the post, they said “Pleased to announce @jamie_mullarkey has signed a new multi fight deal with the @ufc.”
They added “Jamie 3.1.0 in his last 4 fights will be looking to get out next in Ireland 🇮🇪 in December if we can make it happen.
“Congrats Jamie, well deserved 👏🏼”

They may have revealed that UFC Dublin is being planned for December. The rumour was that any event in the Republic of Ireland would be in the next calendar year. But the Instagram post suggests that the date for any UFC Dublin event might come sooner than most thought.
When Was The Last UFC Dublin Event?
The last time that Dana White’s fighting championship was in Ireland was in July 2014; almost a decade ago. Conor McGregor headlined the event in his homeland, beating Diego Brandao via first round TKO.
Some other notable winners on the card were Gunnar Nelson, who beat Zak Cummings via submission, and Ilir Latifi who stopped Chris Dempsey in the first round.
Is a UFC Dublin Event in December Possible?
The latest date that the UFC has an event booked for is UFC Fight Night: Allen v Craig. That is taking place on 18th November, in the UFC Apex arena.
There has been no public announcement of any cards in the final month of the year. So there is a genuine possibility that Ireland gets a UFC event before the turn of the year.
They may be looking to capitalise on their latest Irish additions, like Rhys McKee and Caolan Loughran, as well as the rising star that is Ian Machado Garry.
