The official return to “Fight Island” will get underway this evening (Sat., Sept. 26, 2020) at UFC 253 live on ESPN+ PPV from inside Flash Forum in Abu Dhabi, U.A.E., as UFC middleweight champion Israel Adesanya puts his 185-pound title on the line against undefeated knockout artist Paulo Costa.
But before “Last Stylebender” and “Eraser” lock horns in what many are considering a potential Fight of the Year candidate, the rest of the UFC 253 main card and “Prelims” will play out in devastating fashion (hopefully). From a co-main event title fight between light heavyweights Dominick Reyes and Jan Blachowicz to a welterweight clash pitting Octagon legend Diego Sanchez against “Celtic Kid” Jake Matthews, the UFC 253 fight card should deliver from top to bottom.
We’ve compiled the best of the best below — with all video footage courtesy of UFC and ESPN — and will continue to share the action as it rolls in. Enjoy!
The suavest man on Fight Island!
