The UFC has officially announced VyStar Memorial Arena in Jacksonville, Florida as the location for UFC 273, which is scheduled for April 9th. UFC 273 is set to be headlined by two title fights, which are Aljamain Sterling/Petr Yan for the bantamweight title and Alexander Volkanovski/Chan Sung Jung for the featherweight title.

This will be the third time since May 2020 that Jacksonville Florida has hosted a UFC event. Jacksonville was the first location to play host to the UFC since the start of the pandemic for UFC 249 as well as being the first location to play host to the first event at full capacity with fans for UFC 261.
