Though it won’t be to a full venue, the UFC will have fans in attendance at its events during its third stint on Fight Island. They will, however, face very specific COVID-19 safety measures at Etihad Arena, where the events are being held.
Chief among the requirements is that fans must undergo a check of a valid 48-hour PCR test and thermal scanning.
“Any spectator showing signs of high fever or does not have a valid 48-hour PCR COVID-19 test will be denied entry with no refunds to their ticket,” according to the Etihad Arena website.
Full COVID-19 safety measures are listed below.
The Abu Dhabi events kick off with UFC Fight Night: Holloway vs. Kattar on Saturday, Jan. 16. That is followed by UFC Fight Night: Magny vs. Chiesa on Wednesday, Jan. 20. The events come to a close with UFC 257: Poirier vs. McGregor 2 on Saturday, Jan. 23.
