The UFC is apparently ready to make their debut in Poland this April, as #WHOATV reports that the organization is planning a Fight Night event in the country with a light heavyweight bout between Jimi Manuwa and Jan Blachowicz in a featured spot.
The event would likely come on April 11, and would air on UFC Fight Pass.
Poland's Blachowicz made an exciting UFC debut last October, taking out Ilir Latifi at UFC Fight Night 53 in Sweden. That brought the 31-year-old to 18-3 overall, with 12 finishes under his belt.
England's Manuwa, meanwhile, would be returning for the first time in over a year, as he's been out of action since suffering his first career loss against Alexander Gustafsson last March. He had won his first three UFC fights prior to that matchup.
The April 11 date would mark the first European event of the year for the UFC, as well as the first Fight Pass exclusive card after the UFC canceled plans for an early March card.
