    THE world's largest mixed martial arts (MMA) organisation, Ultimate Fighting Championship (UFC), will return to Singapore this June with a mega event at the Singapore Sports Hub in Kallang.

    The Las Vegas-based company made the blockbuster announcement at the Grand Hyatt on Thursday, adding that it had the backing of the Singapore Tourism Board (STB) for what will be only the second 'live' UFC event in the Lion City to date.
