The UFC returns to the Etihad Arena in Abu Dhabi, UAE for a fifteen-bout fight card, headlined by a top-ranked Bantamweight match between Cory Sandhagen and the undefeated Umar Nurmagomedov.

In the co-main, Vicente Luque faces off with the returning Nick Diaz while Marlon Vera and former Flyweight champ Deiveson Figueiredo throw down in the featured bout.

Loopy Godinez and Mackenzie Dern meet in a grapplers’ delight with Tony Ferguson facing off with Michael Chiesa, plus a barn burner between Abdul-Kareem Al-Selwady and Guram Kutateladze also on the main card, along with several action-packed bouts in the prelims.
