UAE Warriors 15 took place live at the Jiu-Jitsu Arena in Abu Dhabi, United Arab Emirates earlier today. The sixteen-fight card was co-promoted by Eagle Fighting Championship, an organization in which UFC lightweight champion Khabib Nurmagomedov holds ownership. The event was advertised to be a tribute to Nurmagomedov’s late father, Abdulmanap Nurmagomedov. UFC president Dana White was in attendance not only to watch the fights, but apparently to also have a meeting with “The Eagle”.
The card was headlined by a lightweight fight between UFC veteran Mickael Lebout and Bruno Azeredo.
