Philadelphia will host its first UFC event in 15 years when UFC 330 is held at Xfinity Mobile Arena on Aug. 15, UFC president and CEO Dana White and Pennsylvania Gov. Josh Shapiro announced Tuesday.

It will be UFC's first trip to Philadelphia since the same venue hosted UFC 133 on August 6, 2011.

The fight card is set to be announced soon, UFC said in a press release.

'Pennsylvania is thrilled to host UFC 330 in Philadelphia, the first time a championship bout is coming back to the Commonwealth in fifteen years,' Shapiro said. 'This is a huge year for Pennsylvania -- all eyes are on the Commonwealth as we celebrate America 250 and host some of the biggest sporting events in the world in the place where it all started. From UFC and March Madness to the FIFA World Cup and the NFL Draft, we're excited to host world class sporting events that will bring with them incredible opportunities for our businesses, our communities, and our fans. The Commonwealth is all in and we look forward to welcoming UFC back to Pennsylvania.'

Said White: 'Philadelphia is hosting some of the biggest sporting events this year as part of the celebration of America's 250th anniversary. It's been fifteen years since the UFC brought a numbered event to the city, so now is the perfect time to go back. Philadelphia has always been a great fight town, and I can't wait to return.'
