The UFC is going back to Abu Dhabi this fall with another pay-per-view occasion.
On Thursday, the promo revealed that UFC 294 will happen at Etihad Arena in Abu Dhabi on Oct.21 No bouts were revealed for the occasion.
The place has actually ended up being nearly a house far from house for the UFC over the previous couple of years. After the COVID-19 pandemic closed down the majority of the world in 2020, the UFC hosted several occasions in Abu Dhabi, which at the time was billed as “Battle Island.” They returned in October 2021 for UFC 267— that included Glover Teixeira recording the light heavyweight title versus Jan Blachowicz, together with an excellent first-round submission win for Khamzat Chimaev over Li Jingliang
This previous October, the UFC provided a stacked UFC 280 occasion, which saw Islam Makhachev win the light-weight title versus Charles Oliveira in the primary occasion, together with Aljamain Sterling‘s effective bantamweight title defense versus T.J. Dillashaw, and Sean O’Malley getting an upset win versus Petr Yan
