UFC Abu Dhabi Main Card Also Features Return of “El Cucuy”

Speaking of MMA legends, fight fans will get to witness Tony Ferguson make his way back inside the Octagon. Ferguson has been matched up with Michael Chiesa. While it has been tough sledding for “El Cucuy,” the former interim UFC Lightweight Champion certainly hasn’t lost confidence in his abilities judging by his social media posts. Can Ferguson turn back the clock this summer?

In addition to those fights, fans will also see Mackenzie Dern take on Loopy Godinez. Having lost back-to-back bouts against Jessica Andrade and Amanda Lemos, Dern is hoping to prove that she is not trending downwards. Meanwhile for Godinez, this is a big opportunity to get closer to the top five UFC women’s strawweight rankings. As it stands now, Dern holds the number seven spot, while Godinez is number 10.

Here’s a look at the UFC Abu Dhabi main card:

• Cory Sandhagen vs. Umar Nurmagomedov
• Nick Diaz vs. Vicente Luque
• Deiveson Figueiredo vs. Marlon Vera
