Umar Nurmagomedov isn’t a fan of Sean O’Malley’s antics on social media. The undefeated Dagestani standout returns to the Octagon this Saturday as the UFC heads to Abu Dhabi for a stacked Fight Night in Etihad Arena. Meeting Nurmagomedov in the main event will be bantamweight staple Cory Sandhagen in a bout that should produce the next 135-pound title contender.

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.

Ultimate Fighting Championship (UFC) was back in the Arabian Gulf this afternoon (Sat., Aug. 3, 2024) with UFC Abu Dhabi on ABC. The mixed martial arts (MMA) event, which took place inside Etihad Arena — a.k.a. “Fight Island” — in Abu Dhabi, United Arab Emirates, streamed LIVE on ABC and ESPN+. The main event was a Bantamweight title eliminator with Cory Sandhagen meeting the undefeated Umar Nurmagomedov. The co-main did not feature Nick Diaz because of “travel issues.” His bout with Vicente Luque was scrapped, but in its place we had Shara Magomedov fighting Michal Oleksiejczuk.

Taila Santos believes Dakota Ditcheva was given a much easier path to the PFL Playoffs. Both Santos, who once gave Valentina Shevchenko a run for her money inside the Octagon, and Ditcheva are one win away from advancing to the PFL flyweight final. Santos has gone 2-0 since making her Smart Cage debut earlier this year, defeating Ilara Joanne and Jena Bishop during the regular season.
