Saturday April 10th 2010 will see the UFC touchdown in Abu Dhabi, although the venue has still to be confirmed it is strongly rumoured that Emirates Palace will be the venue.
All the current UFC champions are up for title defences in the early part of 2010.
However having said that the early suggestions for the main event seem to be revolving around either middle weight champion Anderson Silva taking on Vitor Belfort, or lightweight champion BJ Penn taking on Gray Meynard.
The co main event looks to be a done deal with a matchup between Renzo Gracie & Matt Hughes. UFC president Dana White was asked last week if the recently signed contract for the Gracie Vs Hughes fight would take place in Abu Dhabi, the UFC president answered ”Sounds good to me” smiling broadly.
Also interesting to note is that welterweight champion George St Pierre has just been in Abu Dhabi over Christmas period.
With only 100 days to go the plot thickens, watch this space.
