For those of you who are UFC fans you’ll be glad to know that the UFC is planning to come back to Abu Dhabi sometime this year. No exact date has been announced yet but my guess is sometime end of the year. The last UFC fight that was held in the region was back in 2010. [Article]
Since we’re on the subject, in case you missed my old post there’s a Kuwaiti MMA manager that manages a bunch of UFC fighters including Michael Bisping, Matt Mitrione, Uriah Hall, Ross Pearson and Conor McGergor among others. Check out my old post on him [Here]
Update: It’s just been announced, UFC is going back to Abu Dhabi on April 11 and will be headlined by Roy Nelson vs. Antonio Nogueira

Hi Mark. Thanks for the post, truly appreciate it. I’m in UAE currently for this subject. Rumor was for sometime in April. Hopefully it still is. The indoor stadium is still not complete so let’s hope it will be soon. Im back soon so let’s catch up this week.
Yeah they just announced it for April 11
