For those eagerly awaiting the UFC’s Fight Island cards, a flood of information came out Thursday. While the UFC was busy with media day for UFC on ESPN 11 this weekend, they also released the full slate of cards for their Fight Island shows in July.
“Fight Island” is technically Yas Island in Abu Dhabi. The promotion previously announced four dates there, including UFC 251. Now, the full cards, minus a couple of TBD preliminary fights, have been announced.
In the process, previously reported bouts including three title fights for UFC 251, and the return of Robert Whittaker against Darren Till, have been confirmed.
