At first things seemed rocky, with scattered reports of when the facilities will be completed changing constantly. However more and more details have been emerging, and there have even been specific dates mentioned for these events.

 

One such date was July 25th, with several fighters being slated to face off on the card. Now it seems that a main event has officially been booked, and it is a big one. According to reports, Darren Till will take on Robert Whittaker in the main event of this marquee card.
