The colossal UFC 251 pay-per-view event set to take place at “Fight Island” now has an official poster to go with it.
UFC 251 takes place on July 11 at Yas Island in Abu Dhabi, which has been branded as “Fight Island” by the UFC. The “Fight Island” initiative was made in order to provide fighting opportunities for international athletes who can’t enter and compete in the U.S. given COVID-19 travel bans.
