UFC sets dates for upcoming events in Montevideo, Abu Dhabi and Sao Paulo

The UFC has set dates for three international cards in August, September and November, sources told MMA Fighting.

On Aug. 10, the company will make its first trip to Uruguay with a Fight Night event in Montevideo. That will mark the third UFC card in a South American country — outside of Brazil — following 2018 events in Chile, headlined by Kamaru Usman vs. Demian Maia, and an Argentina show featuring Santiago Ponzinibbio vs. Neil Magny.

The UFC has selected the Sept. 7 date for a pay-per-view event, sources said. The current plan, according to lightweight king Khabib Nurmagomedov, is to have that show take place in Abu Dhabi.
