Fight Island Events Approaching

The UFC heads to Abu Dhabi next to kick off its Fight Island events.

Fight Island has been talked about ever since UFC president Dana White revealed he was securing an island back in April to stage fights amid the ongoing COVID-19 pandemic.

It’s been a couple of months since, but we are now edging closer with just under two weeks to go for the first event. And BT Sport have released a promo to hype up the upcoming events even further.

You can watch it below:

On Saturday, White also released a sneak peak of an Octagon on the island.

Unfortunately, that is only for training purposes as given the hot temperature in Abu Dhabi — especially during the summertime — there is no choice but to host the events in an indoor arena.

Regardless, we are in store for some great fights starting with UFC 251 on July 11 which will play host to three championship bouts.

You can see the full Fight Island cards below:
