Cage Writer talked to Marshall Zelaznik about the UFC's international expansion, which means Abu Dhabi talk. Zelaznik talked about the emirate and their plans to build an outside arena:
"Make no bones about it, the area we're looking at is gravel currently. It will be built for a UFC event. It will be dressed in a way that it will feel very special. With the exception of walls and a roof, it will be an arena with raised seating, coliseum-style seating where you have people very close to the action."
Zelaznik went on to say that the outdoor site should hold around 10,000 but there is no telling how many of those seats will be filled with international tourists versus a local turnout.

when is this event again?
i dont see this ufc arena happening before then at all.
abu-dhabi is one of the most beautiful places in the world with great structures all over. i dont believe they currently have no place to have these fights at.
