Which country hosted UFC 110, the first UFC event held in Australia?

The story behind the answer

Australia hosted UFC 110, the first UFC event held in the country.

UFC 110 took place at Stadium Australia in Sydney on February 21, 2010. The card marked the promotion’s first visit to Australia and was headlined by a heavyweight bout between former champions Antonio Rodrigo Nogueira and Cain Velasquez.

Velasquez won the main event by unanimous decision. The event also featured Australian fighters such as George Sotiropoulos and James Te-Huna, helping establish a lasting UFC audience in the country.

Australia later became a regular destination for the promotion, with events in cities including Melbourne, Brisbane, Adelaide, and Perth. UFC 110 is distinct from UFC 127, which was also held in Sydney in 2011 but was not the country’s first UFC event.
