This summer, the UFC is set to return to Abu Dhabi for another thrilling event.
The organization has officially announced that they will host a UFC Fight Night in Abu Dhabi on July 26 at Etihad Arena. Currently, details about the main event or specific fights have not been revealed.
Following a very successful year in 2024, the UFC is repeating strategies that have led to their global achievements, including multiple events in Abu Dhabi. Last August, Abu Dhabi hosted a UFC Fight Night, which featured Umar Nurmagomedov winning a decision in a bantamweight fight against Cory Sandhagen.
In October, UFC 308 took place at Etihad Arena, highlighted by Ilia Topuria’s impressive knockout victory over Max Holloway to defend his featherweight title. This is expected to be his only title defense before potentially moving to the lightweight division.
The UFC is also planning to bring a pay-per-view event to Abu Dhabi in October, though the exact date is still to be announced.
