It’s a great week for UFC action, as they head back to the UAE for a banger of a Fight Night event. It’s already hot enough in the desert, but this should take things over the top. Victor’s back from vacation, and Stephie’s got so much goodwill and energy this week as Cory Sandhagen will attempt to solve the riddle that is Umar Nurmagomedov.
Also, Shara Bullet returns, and we get some solid bangers in the form of former flyweight champ Deiveson Figuereido vs Marlon Vera and newcomer Jordan Vucenic vs Guram Kutateladze.
