Ultimate Fighting Championship (UFC) welterweight veterans Michael Chiesa and Neil Magny went to war earlier today (Weds., Jan. 20, 2020) in the UFC Fight Island 8 main event, which aired on both ESPN+ and ESPN from Etihad Arena on “Fight Island” in Abu Dhabi, UAE.
As with every mixed martial arts (MMA) event, the promotion held a post-fight press conference featuring all the major players from today’s face-punching festivities, where select athletes had the opportunity to discuss their performances, as well as their respective futures inside the Octagon.
We only have a few more days before we do this all over again, as the UFC 257 pay-per-view (PPV) card featuring the Conor McGregor vs. Dustin Poirier rematch is on deck for Jan. 23, also on “Fight Island” in Abu Dhabi.
But let’s not put the cart before the proverbial horse and try to enjoy the fun we had today watching UFC Fight Island 8.
