UFC 127 slated for Feb. 27 in Australia, expected to air on pay-per-view

The UFC makes it return to Sydney, Australia, on Feb. 27.

MMAFighting.com first reported the event date, and MMAjunkie.com subsequently confirmed with a source close to the show that it’s expected to air live on pay-per-view (rather than Spike TV).

The UFC’s 2010 Australia debut also aired on PPV live from Acer Arena.
