The UFC has promoted it as a facility for events that include non-American fighters, ho may not be able to travel to the United States given the current travel restrictions.
The UFC president, Dana White decided to share the current status of the facility by uploading a picture of the work going around the area. The image shows a UFC octagon near a beach with the image caption being the location, Yas Island. The image was shared on Twitter by journalist Chisanga Malata.
The UFC is all set to have multiple events on the facility. The first amongst them is going to be UFC 251. The UFC event will be headlined by a welterweight clash between Kamaru Usman and Gilbert Burns.
