The UFC has announced Yas Island in Abu Dhabi as the location of 'Fight Island' and plan to host four events over a two-week period.
The organisation has been searching for a venue outside of America to host fights for its European contingent since the coronavirus crisis.
It has settled on Yas Island which will host shows on July 11, 15, 18 and 25, including UFC 251 which could feature three world title fights.
Fighters will live and train on the island while fights are due to take place in an octagon on the beach with temperatures hitting 30C in the evening during the summer months.
