The Ultimate Fighting Championship (UFC), in collaboration with the Department of Culture and Tourism – Abu Dhabi (DCT Abu Dhabi), has announced an exciting return of UFC Fight Night to Abu Dhabi on July 25, 2026. This thrilling event is set to take place live at the Etihad Arena located on Yas Island.

Details about the fight card will be revealed in the upcoming weeks. Enthusiasts of UFC can anticipate another electrifying night inside the Octagon, as Abu Dhabi continues to be a prime venue for international mixed martial arts events.

This upcoming Fight Night further enhances the longstanding partnership between UFC and Abu Dhabi that initiated back in 2010. Over the years, the emirate has evolved into one of the most significant global hubs for UFC events.

During the COVID-19 pandemic, Abu Dhabi garnered global notoriety by successfully hosting the UFC Fight Island events. Since that time, the emirate has consistently attracted major UFC events featuring elite fighters from across the globe.

Last year, UFC Fight Night: Whittaker vs. De Ridder captivated a full house at Etihad Arena with an electrifying middleweight matchup. Later in October, UFC 321: Aspinall vs. Gane showcased an exciting heavyweight bout during the Abu Dhabi Showdown Week.

Through its collaboration with DCT Abu Dhabi, UFC continues to broaden its reach by presenting significant sports events to fans worldwide. These engagements also foster tourism growth and yield substantial cultural and economic benefits for the region.

Tickets for UFC Fight Night Abu Dhabi will be available for purchase soon. Fans are encouraged to register their interest on Visit Abu Dhabi to gain early access to tickets along with exclusive hotel and travel packages.
