Tickets to any Conor McGregor fight can be Notorious (see what we did there?) to get hold of.
Throw into the mix the likes of rival Dustin ‘Diamond’ Poirier, Michael Chiesa, Neil Magny, Max Holloway and Calvin Kattar, and it’s no surprise that passes to the latest round of UFC Fight Island have gone like hot cakes.
There is still a way to catch the action live at the all-new Etihad Arena on Yas Bay waterfront – the new international home of UFC, but it may require the wallet taking a bit of a beating.
Organisers have laid on an exclusive ticket package with etihadarena.ae and ticketmaster.ae which covers all three bouts of the Triple Header – specifically Holloway vs Kattar on January 16; Chiesa vs Magny on January 20; and Poirier vs McGregor on January 24.
With Poirier-McGregor already sold out, it’s the only way to catch this highly-anticipated rematch for UFC 257 in the flesh – but it’ll cost you Dhs6,447.25 for the privilege.
With fans returning to sporting arenas across the UAE, safety of course takes priority for all those not decked in fight apparel.
Attendees will need to provide negative PCR tests to gain entry, while the venue will enforce thermal scanning, the wearing of masks, and social distancing measures throughout the brawls.
Precautions are well worth it for this body slam of a rumble.
