To cap off what's been a blockbuster month of octagon action, the UFC brings to us another spectacular fight card with UFC Fight Island 3 this Saturday night, the final card on the promotion’s historic Fight Island series held at the Yas Island in Abu Dhabi.
In the main event of UFC Fight Island 3, former UFC middleweight champion Robert Whittaker will look to shake off a disappointing second-round KO loss to reigning champion Israel Adesanya in Down Under last year against former welterweight title challenger Darren Till, who made an impressive debut at middleweight by defeating top contender Kelvin Gastelum. Till will be looking to make the momentum count and push his way to the top contender spot in the 185lbs division.
In the co-main event, Brazilian UFC veterans Mauricio “Shogun” Rua and Antonio Rogerio Nogueira will throw down in a trilogy fight that will be the ultimate fight of the latter’s career. Shogun has won the first pair of contests between the pair.
The UFC Fight Island 3 card also features several other intriguing matchups, including the heavyweight debut of former three-time light heavyweight title challenger Alexander Gustafsson. The Swede goes up against former heavyweight champion Fabricio Werdum.
