UFC280: Tickets for the mega sports event are going presale this week

It will be the third time the UFC has taken place in Abu Dhabi.

Fight fans, it’s time to get those gloves up because the ticket presale for UFC280 goes live this Thursday (21 July).

Yes, one of the most eagerly anticipated events in the Abu Dhabi sporting calendar will see some of the world’s best and toughest Mixed Martial Artists take to the octagon cage at the Etihad Arena on 22 October and you can ensure yourself one of the best seats on the house by registering for the presale this week.

This is the third occasion that the mega sports event is being held in the capital and fans are in for a treat after it was confirmed last week that Charles Oliveria and Islam Makhachev will face off for the World Lightweight Championship title.

 

 

The October fight night will also be a special occasion as capacity crowds will return to the Yas Island venue for the first time since UFC242: Khabib v Poirer.

 

But the raw passion and power in the octagon will not be the only action happening in Abu Dhabi that week with concerts, workshops, pool parties and city-wide activations featuring some of the biggest UFC stars all scheduled into the diary.

The full fight card has yet to be released but watch this space for more details.

To secure your access to the presale of tickets to UFC280, register online at Etihad Arena.
