UFC on ABC 9 fight week is here. After a trip to New Orleans last weekend for the excitement of UFC 318 on pay-per-view, Dana White’s promotion heads to the United Arab Emirates, specifically Abu Dhabi, for the last event on the company’s schedule before the calendar shifts to August next Friday.
This week’s card originates from Abu Dhabi’s Etihad Arena on Yas Island. If you’ll recall, five years ago, during the COVID-19 pandemic, the UFC set up shop on Yas Island for its Fight Island stints from July of 2020 to January of 2021.
