Abu Dhabi is in the middle of pulling off a world-first.
A break away from COVID-19, the global pandemic which saw the unprecedented full stop on travel, major sporting events and schools worldwide, it’s been incredible to see the RETURN of major sports and entertainment and the prep-work that goes into it all happening right on our doorstep!
With a bleak summer ahead, when people questioned whether it’s even safe to leave your home, Abu Dhabi has created something extraordinary, against the odds.
UFC President Dana White was searching for a safe haven for fighters, one that had the capacity to host something as unique as this. What city could welcome fighters from all over the world and the means to roll-out the high standard of safety precautions needed to pull this off?
Enter Abu Dhabi! The UAE capital currently has a rolling contract with the UFC, not to mention a region filled with UFC supporters.
And so followed the ground-breaking preparations which allowed the UAE capital to welcome back an international event during a global pandemic including early arrivals for all fighters and crew, 14-day hotel room quarantine, and 3 COVID tests PER PERSON.
The landmark four Fight Nights will lay the groundwork for sporting events to come. The precautions allowed a 740-strong crew to construct the venue and competition area. Then, the area was cordoned off by Abu Dhabi Police before a full sanitization took place with 1,642 local personnel now operational in the safe zone and hundreds more fighters and crew from UFC. The weigh-ins and the fights, usually massive media spectacles held in front of a captive audience are empty bar each fighter’s team and supporting personnel.
