It was announced on Tuesday's new edition of FUEL TV's "UFC Live" that Atlanta will play host to UFC 146, which takes place April 21.
Sources have confirmed that the event will be held at the Philips Arena.
No bouts for the card have been revealed, but the main card is expected to air on pay-per-view.
The UFC last visited Atlanta in September 2008 for "UFC: Breakthrough," where Rashad Evans scores a second-round knockout of UFC Hall of Famer Chuck Liddell.
UFC 146 marks the fourth-ever UFC event held in Georgia. The state played an important in the promotion's early development, hosting UFC 13 in 1997 and UFC 11 in 1996. Both of those events were held in Augusta.
