UFC returned once again to the United Arab Emirates, and this time for the second time this year in event number 20. Tickets for the event were sold out completely, which confirms the popularity of the sport in the region and its appeal to the local and global audiences.
The event witnessed a strong matchup between professional fighters in the heavyweight division where the current champion managed to retain his title after an impressive victory over his opponent. The champion stated in a post-fight interview: "It is a great honor for me to defend my title in the Emirates, and I want to thank the fans for their great support for me and for this sport."
After the cancellation of several major sporting events due to the COVID-19 pandemic, UFC returned strongly to the Emirates to deliver thrilling shows and prove that sports can continue safely and with high quality in these challenging circumstances.
