Following last Saturday’s visit to Oklahoma City, this week sees the UFC return to Abu Dhabi for another UFC Fight Night event.

The card’s headlining bout will see Magomed Ankalaev return to action for the first time since losing the light heavyweight belt to face short-notice opponent Bogdan Guskov, who was preparing to rematch Jan Blachowicz at UFC Belgrade next weekend.

The co-main event features former flyweight title Steve Erceg taking on Ramazan Temirov, who has picked up two victories since joining the UFC to bring his overall win streak to 11 fights dating back to 2021.
