It’s part of a series of events leading up to the UFC 242 sporting spectacle on September 7, which features a headline bout between Khabib Nurmagomedov and Dustin Poirier.

The week-long schedule will see city-wide events and activations, with a second high profile concert also expected to be announced soon.
