The Ultimate Fighting Championship (UFC) hits Abu Dhabi for the first time on Monday and there’s more than one way to enjoy the show.
Dedicated fans, who don’t mind seeing every punch and prod close-up, can grab tickets from the UFC stand at Marina Mall in Abu Dhabi and at selected Virgin Megastores.
But, if you’ve got better things to do with your evenings than spend an hour queuing to get onto Yas Island, why not watch the matches on TV instead?
Live telecasts on Showsports 1 (Arabic) and Showsports 4 (English), Orbit Showtime Network (OSN) have been announced and OSN has promised subscribers an “extravaganza” in the 12 days leading up to the event in Abu Dhabi on April 10.
Starting on Monday at 7pm, viewers will have the chance to re-live UFC 100 through to UFC 111 in preparation for UFC 112, which has two championship belts up for grabs.
In addition, viewers can watch new episodes of UFC Wired and UFC Unleashed. A live broadcast of Fight Night 21 Live Florian v Gomi will be broadcast on April 21 at 4am.
This will be followed later that day by the Ultimate Fighter Season 11 Premier, Team Ortiz vs Team Liddell at 9pm.
