- UFC 112 is confirmed to take place on April 10th in Abu Dhabi at Concert Arena at the Ferrari World theme park on Yas Island. While ticket and broadcast information was not confirmed, the following three matches were:

* UFC middleweight champ Anderson Silva (25-4, 10-0 UFC) vs. Vitor Belfort (19-8 MMA, 8-4 UFC)
* UFC lightweight champ B.J. Penn (15-5-1 MMA, 11-4-1 UFC) vs. Frankie Edgar (11-1 MMA, 6-1 UFC)
* Matt Hughes (43-7 MMA, 16-5 UFC) vs. Renzo Gracie (13-6-1 MMA, 0-0 UFC)

- Dana White had the following to say on the event…

"This is one of the biggest and most significant nights in the history of the UFC. UFC 112 is our first-ever outdoor event, and it is taking place in the hometown of our brand new partners, Flash Entertainment. We are very happy we could deliver what fans around the world will recognize as a stacked card featuring the sport's biggest stars."

Also, if you’re a fan of sports betting, keep in mind the UFC 116 in which the heavyweight champion Brock Lesnar returns to defend his title against interim champion, Shane Carwin.

With Dubai being in such huge debt, how did they get UFC to come on their soil? Where did they get the money from? Is the arena even going to be sold out? I never knew there was an appetite for MMA in UAE. I know Iran has a huge wrestling culture...But Dubai?

I love outdoor fights/matches, whether WWE or boxing or MMA... You'd think they'd do more outdoor events (I mean, think of Wrestlemania 3!) in these fight-based industries.
