The UFC's Fight Island has been a much talked about topic over the past few months as the promotion looked for somewhere to host international fighters during the coronavirus pandemic.
Now, the location has finally been revealed.
While many had imagined some sort of tropical island set up, the UFC will be taking fights to the United Arab Emirates, with Abu Dhabi's Yas Island now confirmed as the location.
To accommodate existing public health guidelines, the Abu Dhabi Department of Culture and Tourism will create a safety zone within the nearly 25 square-kilometre Island that will include an arena, hotel, training facilities, and dining establishments.
This safety zone will only be open to UFC athletes and their coaches; UFC staff and other event personnel; and Yas Island employees who are necessary to ensure the operation of the facilities.
