The UFC returns to the Etihad Arena in UAE this weekend for a Fight Night card packed with top talent, including a world title eliminator in the main event. August is a rather strange month for the UFC, with two rather lackluster Fight Night cards at the Apex sandwiched between a behemoth PPV in the form of Israel Adesanya vs Dricus Du Plessis.

The odds looked slim for an October return for Islam Makhachev, given his recent comments.
Now his coach, Javier Mendez, has lent much credence to that possibility.
Mendez, long-time coach of Makhachev (26-1 MMA, 15-1 UFC), recently gave an update on his pupil’s hand injury. He said there’s still no timeline for his return, but what is certain is that his expected return against Arman Tsarykyan at UFC 308 on Oct. 26 in Abu Dhabi won’t be going down.
“Yes, he’s got a ligament injury, and he’s getting consultation from different doctors, and we’ll see what they say he has to do,” Mendez...

Islam Makhachev’s next opportunity to fight is still up in the air. The reigning UFC lightweight champion recently revealed that he tore a hand ligament in his most recent appearance at UFC 302, where he secured a third straight defense of his title with a fifth-round submission of Dustin Poirier. It was the 14th consecutive victory for Makhachev, who currently stands as the No. 1 fighter in the MMA Fighting Pound-for-Pound Rankings.

Dustin Poirier has a very different recollection of his last run-in with Colby Covington as the pair’s bitter rivalry continues. The former UFC interim champions; Poirier at lightweight and Covington at welterweight, have been feuding since 2020 when the latter was kicked out of American Top Team.

Terence Crawford, undefeated at 40-0, is ambitiously considering a fight against Canelo Alvarez at 168 pounds, a significant jump from his current division. Former champion Rolando Romero has expressed skepticism about Crawford's ability to succeed against Alvarez, citing the latter's power and experience as a unified super middleweight champion. Despite losing key competitors to higher weight classes, Crawford’s transition to 168 could be risky without preliminary bouts to gauge his fit in this division.
