AND the main event of the UFC Fight Island takes place this Saturday in Abu Dhabi. Where Kamaru Usman and Jorge Masvidal face off for the company’s welterweight title; After months of uncertainty, the match between the American and the Nigerian will finally take place and without a doubt promises to be more than spectacular for the three titles at stake.
But UFC 251 will not only leave us fighting for a scepter, as we will have Alexander Volkanovski’s defense at featherweight, against the contender Max Holloway. On the other hand, we will meet the new owner of the belt that Henry Cejudo vacated when Jose Aldo and Petr Yan go up to the octagon.
The United Arab Emirates will have a great weekend that will cover a total of 13 fights; It should also be noted that the schedule will favor the American public this time.
The weighing left us a sample of the discipline of Masvidal, who after making a tremendous effort, managed to give the weight of 170 pounds. While the provocations did not wait during the weigh-in, and although there were no knocks, the confrontation was more than intense.
