The Ultimate Fighting Championship makes its Boston debut on Aug. 28.

UFC president Dana White, who formerly lived in Boston, told the Boston Herald the organization will host an event at the 19,000-capacity TD Garden on the date, though an official announcement won’t be made until closer to the show.

Back in November Massachusetts Gov. Deval Patrick signed into law a bill that calls for the Massachusetts State Boxing Commission to become the Massachusetts State Athletic Commission and oversee MMA events.
