UFC is back in Abu Dhabi for an action-packed Fight Night this July 2025
Get ready, fight fans! UFC is making its return to Abu Dhabi this summer, bringing another electrifying night of mixed martial arts action to the capital. Set for Saturday, 26 July at the Etihad Arena, UFC Fight Night Abu Dhabi promises a lineup of top-tier talent stepping into the Octagon.
Tickets will be on sale soon, and if past events are anything to go by, they’ll disappear fast. Those keen to witness the action live should register their interest via Visit Abu Dhabi for the best chance at securing their spot.
Abu Dhabi has become a firm favourite on the UFC calendar, and last year’s events proved why. In October, UFC 308 saw Spain’s Ilia Topuria successfully defend his featherweight title with a showstopping knockout against Max Holloway. Before that, fans watched an intense bantamweight showdown in August, where Umar Nurmagomedov battled his way to victory over Cory Sandhagen in a gripping five-round decision.
Since 2010, Abu Dhabi has hosted 20 UFC events, solidifying its reputation as a global hub for combat sports. Thanks to a long-standing partnership with the Department of Culture and Tourism – Abu Dhabi, the city continues to attract some of the biggest names in MMA, delivering world-class fight nights that keep fans on the edge of their seats.
While the official fight card is still under wraps, anticipation is already building for what promises to be another unforgettable night at Yas Island’s Etihad Arena. Some of UFC’s finest athletes will be stepping up, ready to put on a show for a packed-out crowd.
For those looking to take their experience to the next level, VIP packages will also be available through UFC’s official partner, On Location. Expect premium seating, behind-the-scenes access, hospitality perks, and the chance to meet UFC fighters.
Keep an eye out for ticket announcements and fight card details in the coming weeks. For all the latest updates, head to VisitAbuDhabi.ae.
