Following the undisputed success of the July 2020 inaugural series, Return to UFC Fight Island was the second event in the UFC Fight Island™ series, returning to Abu Dhabi’s Yas Island, a premier hub for world-class leisure and entertainment, in October 2020.
Seeing Khabib Nurmagomedov and Justin Gaethje go head to head in a UFC fight, the series’ epic comeback took place less than three months after UFC Fight Island, marking another historic first for Abu Dhabi and positioning the emirate as the sporting capital of the world.
Khabib was declared the winner against Justin Gaethje, in what was the final fight of his illustrious career that saw him unbeaten in 29 MMA bouts. Khabib announced soon after the fight that he would be retiring.
Showcasing the Safe Zone concept – a safety bubble for all - UFC Fight Island (where the UFC fights were held) was conceptualised and managed by the Department of Culture and Tourism - Abu Dhabi. Built to ensure a large-scale Covid-free event in the midst of a pandemic, what was impressive about this, and what set Abu Dhabi’s undertaking apart from other Covid-free bubbles, was the sheer size of the self-contained environment. Participants were not confined to their hotel, but rather had access to Yas Beach, Yas Golf Club and Yas Links golf course, as well as the Yas Marina Circuit racing track. To make this happen, Abu Dhabi had to administer roughly 18,000 tests.
In preparation, Abu Dhabi also had to lockdown and Covid-proof seven hotels (2,200 hotel rooms in total), an arena, beach, golf course and racing circuit. Then it got the testing in place, catering, support staff tested, isolated, and in place, all before any door was opened.
To attend Fight Island, all participants were required to have a negative Covid test before boarding their flights. They were then tested again upon arrival and isolated in their rooms at the hotel for 48 hours. After proving negative, there was still a third test, but after this test, the visitors were permitted to leave their hotel rooms and explore the rest of the bubble.
As you can see Abu Dhabi takes the safety of its visitors seriously. The same goes for the tourists who visit the emirate. The emirate’s ‘Go Safe Certification’ enforces global safety and hygiene standards across Abu Dhabi’s hotels, attractions, malls, hospitality facilities and public venues, and supports wider efforts to combat the spread of COVID-19, which include widespread testing, city-wide sanitation, social distancing, and enhanced healthcare services.
If you’re thinking of visiting Dubai, come to Abu Dhabi before or after your Dubai trip. Only an hour away from Dubai by car, Abu Dhabi is a must-visit stop on your UAE trip.
