Several bout changes have been made to the upcoming UFC FIGHT ISLAND events due to athlete injury, COVID-19, or other personal reasons (detailed below). UFC and DCT Abu Dhabi wish a speedy recovery to those athletes who had to withdraw from their events or had bouts cancelled due to health concerns.
UFC also sends its sincerest condolences to the family and friends of Adbulmanap Nurmagomedov, who recently passed away. Abdulmanap played a pivotal role in the lives of countless Russian fighters who made their way to the top mixed martial arts events around the globe, and his loss will be felt throughout the sporting world.
