The 3 Arena is the venue.

The UFC have announced that the Octagon is coming back to Dublin on 24 October 2015.

That’s 15 months since it was last here on that memorable night when Conor McGregor defeated Diego Brandao (pic above) in front of fanatical home support.

It’s unlikely that McGregor will be part of the line-up this time around, but we should see the likes of Cathal Pendred, Neil Seery, Paul Redmond, Ais Daly, Norman Parke and Paddy Holohan feature on the bill.
