The UFC will allow some fans to attend their upcoming Fight Island cards, which take place later this month.
It marks the first time since March of last year that fans will be able to attend a UFC event. After UFC 248, the promotion made the decision to hold all their events behind closed doors due to the worldwide outbreak of the COVID-19 pandemic.
The Abu Dhabi Department of Culture and Tourism announced the news on Thursday.
“[Abu Dhabi] is to host the third instalment of UFC Fight Island on Yas Island from 16 to 24 January, welcoming a limited number of spectators to the new Etihad Arena,” the media office tweeted.
