The Octagon returns to Etihad Arena as Ankalaev looks to bounce back in a stacked light heavyweight headliner.
UFC action continues for a third straight week as the promotion touches down in Abu Dhabi tonight for a stacked 13-fight card at Etihad Arena.
Topping the bill is a light heavyweight clash between former champion Magomed Ankalaev and surging contender Bogdan Guskov. Ankalaev was originally slated to face former title contender Khalil Rountree Jr., but Rountree withdrew due to injury and was replaced by Guskov.
Ankalaev is looking to bounce back after losing the light heavyweight title to Alex Pereira in their rematch at UFC 320, while Guskov arrives off a loss to former champion Jan Blachowicz, having opened his UFC run with back-to-back wins over Billy Elekana and Nikita Krylov. A win here would put Guskov firmly in the title conversation.
The co-main event features a flyweight clash between Steve Erceg and Ramazan Temirov, with the rest of the main card including Islam Dulatov vs Wellington Turman, Magomed Zaynukov vs Damian Rzepecki, Rizvan Kuniev vs Tyrell Fortune, and Abubakar Vagaev vs Saygid Izagakhmaev.
