UFC President Dana White posted a picture of Fight Island that showed an Octagon under construction on Yas Island, which is located in Abu Dhabi, United Arab Emirates.

Yas Island is used to hosting major sporting events, as it is the home of the Formula 1 Abu Dhabi Grand Prix.

Per ESPN's Brett Okamoto, White announced Yas Island as the location for four upcoming events: UFC 251 on July 11 and three Fight Night cards on July 15, 18 and 25.

UFC 251 will be a stacked card featuring the welterweight, featherweight and bantamweight titles on the line.
