The UFC\u2019s partnership with Abu Dhabi dates back to 2010. The
\ncountry gained attention for its \u201cFight Island\u201d moniker when the
\npromotion held events there during the COVID-19 pandemic, and it
\ntypically remains an annual Octagon destination.<\/p>\n

Recent History<\/h2>\n

Last year, UFC on ABC 9 took place at Eithad Arena in Abu Dhabi on
\nJuly 9 and saw Reinier
\nde Ridder<\/a> defeat Robert
\nWhittaker<\/a> via split decision in the main event. More recently,
\nUFC 321 took place at the same venue, where the main event ended in
\ncontroversy when a Ciryl Gane<\/a>
\neye poke rendered Tom
\nAspinall<\/a> unable to continue in the first round of their
\nheavyweight title bout.
