They say December ‘is the most wonderful time of the year’ and when we see all the sport that is on this month we couldn’t agree more. So while you’re in the midst of all the feasting, swing by Varsity for some epic UFC 296 fights and root for our local legends in Cricket (Big Bash League), Basketball, or soccer.
The kick-off for UFC 296 takes an unexpected turn as kickboxer Giga Chikadze bows out due to an unforeseen injury leaving Josh Emmett, heavy-handed boxer, empty-handed. Despite that impromptu incident, the show must go on, and other fighters are all set to bring the excitement. Mark the date for the title bouts in both the Welterweight and Flyweight categories on Sunday, December 17th: it’s going to be a blast!
These guys live by the saying ‘No pain no gain’ when we stand by a ‘No pint no fun’ rule. So grab a pal, a beer and a seat and watch them fight from the comfort of one of our 8 Perth venues.
Sunday 10th December, 11:00am: Song Yadong vs. Chris Gutierrez
Sunday 17th December, 11:00am: Leon Edwards vs. Colby Covington (Welterweight Title Bout) & Alexandre Pantoja vs. Brandon Royval (Flyweight Title Bout)
