The UFC Fan Expo will return to the Mandalay Bay Convention Center on July 6 and 7, the organization will announce at a news conference today.

Featuring more than 300,000 square feet of activities for fans, including meet and greets, autograph sessions and Q&A sessions with top UFC and Strikeforce fighters, as well as grappling tournaments and other special events, the expo will be built around a pay-per-view event in Las Vegas on July 7.

“We love giving UFC fans ultimate access to our sport and athletes,” UFC president Dana White said. “We’re going to have dozens of our fighters in attendance to sign autographs and meet fans, and we’re going to have some of the world’s top vendors and exhibitors. This is an absolute can’t-miss event for UFC fans around the world.”

This will mark the seventh Fan Expo hosted by the UFC and the third to take place in Las Vegas.
