All athletes made weight ahead of tonight’s UFC Abu Dhabi card.
The action filled fight night takes place at the Etihad arena, with a number 1 contender clash topping the bill.
Cory Sandhagen will take on Umar Nurmagomedov for the chance to be the next man to fight for the Bantamweight title. Both men have been in solid form of late, with Nurmagomedov still undefeated and Sandhagen unbeaten in 3.
The co-main event should have seen the return of Nick Diaz to the octagon but following issues with travel, Share Magomedov will now take the co-main event spot. He takes on the Polishman, Michał Oleksiejczuk in the second from top spot on the card.
Former Flyweight champion Deiveson Figueiredo will look to continue his impressive run in a new weight division as he squares off with Marlon ‘Chito’ Vera in a Bantamweight bout.
Tony Ferguson is also back in action against yet another tough competitor in the form of Michael Chiesa. Ferguson is desperate for a win and change to his recent form, having not had his hand raised inside the octagon since 2019. Chiesa is also chasing that return to the win column, currently finding himself on a three fight skid.
Mackenzie Dern vs. Lupita Godinez and Joel Alvarez vs Elves Brener will round out the stacked main card.
There are several former Cage Warriors champions scheduled to appear as Jordan Vucenic makes his promotional debut just two weeks after his last bout when he takes on Guram Kutateladze.
Jai Herbert is also back in action in a tough Lightweight clash against Rolando Bedoya.
