The UFC returns to Abu Dhabi on Saturday for UFC 267, which takes place at Etihad Arena on Yas Island and streams entirely on ESPN+.
The 14-fight lineup is deep and crammed with a variety of storylines, including a light heavyweight title headliner that will see Jan Blachowicz (28-8 MMA, 11-5 UFC) attempt to extend his unexpected reign against Glover Teixeira (32-7 MMA, 15-5 UFC), who at 42 years old looks to become the oldest first-time champion in company history.
Additionally, Petr Yan (15-2 MMA, 7-1 UFC) and Cory Sandhagen (14-3 MMA, 7-2 UFC) will fight for the interim bantamweight belt in the first title matchup in UFC history where both athletes are coming off losses. The winner will unify with Aljamain Sterling – or will they?
The undercard of the title fight includes a variety of compelling characters, from Islam Makhachev (20-1 MMA, 9-1 UFC) vs. Dan Hooker (21-10 MMA, 11-6 UFC) to Khamzat Chimaev’s (9-0 MMA, 3-0 UFC) return to the octagon and much more.
