The Octagon is headed to "Strong Island."

On Friday, the UFC announced that they will be heading to the Nassau Coliseum in Uniondale, Long Island, N.Y., on July 22 for a UFC on FOX event.

This will be the UFC's fifth scheduled trip to New York since a ban on the sport of MMA was lifted in April 2016. The promotion recently visited New York City, Albany, and Brooklyn, with UFC 210 set to take place in Buffalo on April 8.

No fights have been booked for the Long Island card.
