After COVID-19 cancelled their first scheduled meeting at UFC Vegas 17, UFC President Dana White plans to rebook Leon Edwards and Khamzat Chimaev for a winter event in Abu Dhabi.
An event set for Jan. 20 is targeted to host the pivotal welterweight matchup, White told TSN. The Fight Island event is part of a series that’s planned to take place on Yas Island, though the UFC has not made official the locations for its early 2021 event schedule.
Dana White outlines the plan for three events at the start of 2021.
