The UFC is returning to Abu Dhabi in October, and a big lightweight title fight is at the top of the bill.
In the main event on Oct. 21 at Etihad Arena, lightweight champ Islam Makhachev will face former champ Charles Oliveira in a title rematch. The pair first met a year ago at UFC 280, where Makhacehv submitted Oliveria in the second round.
The co-feature will see a big middleweight showdown between Paulo Costa and Khamzat Chimaev. The winner of that fight could be next up for a title shot.
Was there another marquee matchup that should have been added to this card or did the promotion get it right with these two fights heading the show?
Our “Spinning Back Clique” panel of Danny Segura, Farah Hannoun and Brian “Goze” Garcia discuss the lineup with host “Gorgeous” George Garcia.
