UFC has a long and rich history in the Middle East with a total of 17 events being held in the region since 2010. Yas Island in the UAE was also home to Fight Island during the pandemic, allowing UFC events to continue to be held in a safe and secure location on the island. UFC will be returning to Abu Dhabi on August 3 for a Fight Night at Etihad Arena, and also hosting the very first UFC event in Saudi Arabia on June 22.
