Are you ready to rumble Abu Dhabi?

UFC, one of the biggest on the MMA scene and the Department of Culture and Tourism – Abu Dhabi (DCT Abu Dhabi) has officially announced UFC’s return to the UAE capital this summer!

Slated for Saturday 3 August at Etihad Arena, this will be the second massive UFC event in Abu Dhabi in less than a year.

With a soon-to-be-announced fight card, the upcoming event will see international and local talent enter The Octagon for a must-see spectacle, featuring a number of the sport’s most talented athletes.

The UFC Fight Night will be the 18th event in Abu Dhabi, dating back to UFC 112: INVINCIBLE in April 2010.

Last year, UFC, in partnership with DCT Abu Dhabi, hosted UFC 294: MAKHACHEV vs VOLKANOVSKI 2, where a sold-out Eithad Arena witnessed Islam Makhachev defend his lightweight title against UFC’s featherweight champion and fan favourite Alexander Volkanovski, who stepped up to the challenge at late notice. UAE MMA continues to grow to new heights as UFC signed its first-ever Emirati athlete, Mohammad Yahya, who debuted in front of a home crowd at UFC 294.
