A high-stakes welterweight matchup is the first fight booked for the Ultimate Fighting Championship’s return to the United Arab Emirates in October.
In March, the promotion announced that it would be heading back to the Etihad Arena on Yas Island in Abu Dhabi, United Arab Emirates. Since then, no fight had been booked for that UFC 281 lineup until Friday. The UFC’s broadcast partner of ESPN broke the news that Belal Muhammad (21-3, 1 NC) will square off with Sean Brady (15-0) in a pivotal battle at 170 pounds.
