Ortega said she came to Denver from Connecticut and lived in her car for 15 days. She received a three-day hotel voucher, she said, but hotel staff initially would not honor it.

After the Bell: Shillan & Duffy Recap UFC on ABC 7

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.

UFC Abu Dhabi full results and highlights | Sandhagen vs. Umar

UFC is coming off a not-too-exciting event in the UK last week. We say partly because the time of the fights was a bit odd, and this seemed to impact the fighters as well as the fans. But the product is too good and they will bounce back this week. Especially with the card they put together in Abu Dhabi and it will be available on ABC. No pay per view is needed to watch this one and from the start the fights will be electric.
