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.
The UFC 251 poster features the three title fights: Champion Kamaru Usman vs. Gilbert Burns for the welterweight title; a featherweight title fight rematch between Alexander Volkanovski and former champ Max Holloway; and a battle for the vacant bantamweight belt pitting Jose Aldo vs. Petr Yan.
And though their faces might not be present, the UFC 251 poster also features a key strawweight bout in writing: Amanda Ribas vs. Page VanZant.
Check out the poster below:
