In what seemed like an eternity, we’ve successfully survived a two-week absence from the UFC. In its absence, we got to watch Joey Chestnut do his thing, order curbside delivery fireworks, and slice some golf balls to max out that mulligan count. But just like that, we are firing up some Beach Boys “Kokomo,” and diving into the first official card from Fight Island, aka Yas Island, located in Abu Dhabi, for UFC 251: Usman vs. Masvidal, which will no doubt be a monster card on Saturday night.
It must be said; the UFC has done some serious work to get this thing pulled off and continuing as one of the only sports successfully keeping its schedule intact throughout the pandemic.
