UFC Returns to Abu Dhabi for UFC 267
UFC will return to Fight Island in Abu Dhabi for UFC 267: Blachowicz vs Teixeira on October 30, 2021.
UFC 267 will take place at the Etihad Arena on Yas Island and will feature not one but two championship bouts!
The headline event will be the light heavyweight title bout Blachowicz vs Teixeira. Polish fighter and fan favourite Jan Blachowicz has been competing in the UFC since 2014. He will be returning to Abu Dhabi for the first time since his victory against Dominic Reyes last September at UFC 253.
Facing him this time will be No.1 contender Glover Teixeira. The Brazilian fighter has been competing since 2012 and is on a five-fight winning streak.
UFC 267 will also feature a bantamweight title battle between champion Aljamain Sterling and Petr Yan. The fight will be a rematch of their clash in March of this year, where Sterling took the belt from Yan.
Also announced for UFC 267 are Islam Makhachev vs Rafael Dos Anjos (lightweight division) and Khamzat Chimaev, returning to Fight Island after his 2020 debut.
UFC 267 tickets will go on sale on Wednesday 1 September at 12:00.
