The preliminary card of UFC Abu Dhabi, also known as UFC on ABC 9, will air live on ESPN and ESPN+. The main card will air on ABC with a streaming simulcast on ESPN+.
Former middleweight champ Robert Whittaker, who halted the rapid rise of Ikram Aliskerov in the very same arena a year ago, will look to repeat that feat against former One Championship two-division standout Reinier de Ridder—while reaffirming his own place in the title picture. The same could be said of Petr Yan, who is set to face the streaking Marcus McGhee in the co-headliner, and the three remaining fights feature at least one fighter from the CIS, as has become typical of UFC Abu Dhabi cards.
