UFC featherweight champion Ilia Topuria will take on No. 2 ranked Max Holloway for the return of UFC to the UAE capital for the second time this year.

The event, held in partnership with the Department of Culture and Tourism - Abu Dhabi (DCT Abu Dhabi), will also feature a clash of top middleweights between No. 3 ranked contender Robert Whittaker and No. 11 ranked Khamzat Chimaev in a five-round matchup.
