'Fight Island' Kamaru Usman vs. Jorge Masvidal -- UFC 251 live results, analysis

For the first time since 2007, the UFC will host its annual, marquee, pay-per-view event for the month of July at a location other than Las Vegas, as UFC 251 will be held Saturday on "Fight Island." It will be the first of four consecutive cards on Abu Dhabi's Yas Island.

The event features three title fights, including a main event, welterweight matchup in which the challenger -- Jorge Masvidal -- accepted the fight on six days' notice, and the champion -- Kamaru Usman -- was told to fly home just over a week ago, because his fight appeared to be off after Gilbert Burns tested positive for COVID-19.
