Competitions at the modern and spacious Etihad Arena provide the opportunity to meet both titled MMA masters and rising stars in fights. Every athlete who comes here automatically writes his name into the history of mixed martial arts on the international stage.
Fight nights UFC no longer require advertising — Fans are eagerly awaiting them, closely following the news from the organizers. For two years in a row, the main events of UFC Fight Night were the fights of the Russian fighter Islam Makhachev. This year he was expected to return, but the organizers decided to surprise fans with another fight. This time Corey Sandhagen and Umar Nurmagomedov will meet in the ring.
Both lightweights have impressive track records and occupy high positions in the MMA rankings. Nurmagomedov has already won four straight victories in the UFC, confirming his dominance, just like his famous brother. But Sandhagen is also ready to give a worthy rebuff to the Russian fighter. Many experts believe that Umar Nurmagomedov has a better chance of getting a knockout thanks to his technique. The stands at the Etihad Arena have long been accustomed to stunning victories by Russian fighters, and if Umar wins, he will continue this tradition. Last year he defeated Raoni Barcelos by knockout in the first round. However, his constant victories can play a cruel joke on him. In any case, fans who come to the UFC Fight Night tournament will receive unforgettable emotions and thrills from the fight between famous lightweights.
Pairs of fighters will also perform at the tournament: Dern - Goodinez, Ferguson - Chiesa, Luque - Diaz, Vera - Figueredo.
