UFC Abu Dhabi goes down this weekend with a huge middleweight fight headlining the promotion’s return to the Etihad Arena. Former interim and undisputed middleweight champion, Robert Whittaker, returns to action and looks to get back in the win column when he meets streaking contender, Reinier de Ridder. RDR features for the third time this year, looking to continue his undefeated UFC run and extend his finishing streak to five straight.
The winner of this five-rounder will position themselves handily in the title picture in the coming months.
