A light heavyweight title fight and an interim bantamweight title bout headline from Abu Dhabi
2 min read
Fight Night is upon us. UFC has landed on Fight Island once again with a loaded fight card on deck for UFC 267 in Abu Dhabi. A pair of title fights top the marquee while some of the promotion’s top rising contenders fill out the undercard. Light heavyweight champion Jan Blachowicz will look to defend the 205-pound title once more in the main event against veteran Glover Teixeira. Plus, former bantamweight champ Petr Yan and rising contender Cory Sandhagen meet for the interim 135-pound belt in the co-main event.
The main event sees the light heavyweight title up for grabs when champion Jan Blachowicz takes on veteran Glover Teixeira. Blachowicz, 38, enters on a five-fight win streak that has seen the native of Poland put together arguably the best stretch of his career with wins over Luke Rockhold, Ronaldo Souza, Corey Anderson, Dominick Reyes and Israel Adesanya. Teixeira, meanwhile, enters at 42 and amid a career rejuvenation with four wins in a row under his belt, including victories over former title challengers Thiago Santos and Anthony Smith.
