Etihad Arena lists official COVID-19 safety measures for fans at January UFC Fight Island shows

The UFC is welcoming fans back to their events soon, but not without plenty of precautions.

Beginning on Jan. 16, three events are set to take place on Yas Island in Abu Dhabi in the span of seven days, with the location shifting from Flash Forum (where the UFC’s previous Fight Island shows were hosted) to Etihad Arena. It was announced earlier this week that a limited number of spectators will be in attendance, which is the first time that non-essential personnel have been permitted to attend a UFC event since the outbreak of COVID-19 this past March.
