The UFC is set to visit Perth for the first time ever this Sunday, as UFC 221 emanates from Perth Arena.

The main event of the card is the blockbuster Interim Middleweight Championship bout between Yoel Romero and Luke Rockhold.

This is The Roar’s ultimate guide to watching the event on TV and online in Australia.

The full card will feature a mammoth 12 fights, however, the card is split into three smaller cards.

There will be two preliminary cards, with three fights appearing on one, and four on the other.

The main card will then feature five fights, including the main event.

The event is set to be very exciting for Australian fans, as the UFC continues to display its affection for the Australian market.

The event will be somewhat bittersweet, however, as Australian Robert Whittaker was forced to pull out due to a medical issue.
