UK fight fans may have been treated to a title fight double header this past weekend in Manchester but UFC 304 didn’t hit expectations. There was a lot of disgruntlement from both fans and fighters when it was announced that the event would be taking place at US time, meaning that the night wouldn’t kick off until 11 pm local time at the Co-Op Live arena.

Dana White Told To Accept Blame For Uneventful UFC 304: ‘You Messed It Up For The People That Work For The Promotion & Some Of The Fighters…’

Dana White just dropped one of the most stacked fight cards of the year. The UFC CEO took to social media early Saturday to reveal the highlighted matchups for the upcoming UFC 308 pay-per-view (PPV) card on Oct. 26 from inside Etihad Arena in Abu Dhabi, UAE. Let’s just say the promotion didn’t leave one stone unturned for its PPV return to “Fight Island.”

This is the UFC Abu Dhabi live blog for Marlon Vera vs. Deiveson Figueiredo, the featured bantamweight fight on Saturday evening. One of the most popular fighters in the bantamweight division, “Chito” is coming off a failed attempt to claim the bantamweight title, losing a one-sided decision to rival Sean O’Malley back in March. Still only 31 years old, Vera is now well outside the title picture, but a win over the former flyweight champion would be a big step towards getting back into the mix at 135 pounds.
