Island Fights 51 will take place on December 21, 2018, and will be headlined by Greg Hardy vs. Dakota Merritt (Hardy first reported by Ariel Helwani/ESPN, Merritt first reported as his opponent by MMAJunkie). However, this event is going to be MUCH bigger than just Greg Hardy.
Island Fights executives expect this 6-fight card on UFC Fight Pass to break records for third-party content viewership. After more fights for the card get finalized and announced, Island Fights 51 will be one of the biggest fight cards to ever stream on UFC’s streaming service.
