It’s safe to say that, so far, the Fight Island experiment has been a huge success.
UFC rolls right on into its third card in a week’s time, with UFC Fight Night: Figueiredo vs Benavidez 2, Saturday night from Abu Dhabi.
In the card’s main event, No. 1 Deiveson Figueiredo squares off against No. 2 Joseph Benavidez in their immediate rematch for the vacant flyweight strap. The co-main features two top ranked middleweights, as Kelvin Gastelum faces Jack Hermansson in a very important fight for both fighters.
The card will air in its entirety on ESPN+, with the prelims (also available on ESPN) kicking off at 5pm ET, leading into the main card at 8:00pm ET.
