The UFC makes its debut on “Fight Island” Saturday with UFC 251, which takes place at Flash Forum in Yas Island, Abu Dhabi with a main card that airs on pay-per-view following prelims on ESPN and ESPN+/UFC Fight Pass. Arguably the strongest championship triple-header in company sits atop the card, with Kamaru Usman (16-1 MMA, 11-0 UFC) vs. Jorge Masvidal (35-13 MMA, 12-6 UFC) for the welterweight title serves as the main event, Alexander Volkanovski (21-1 MMA, 8-0 UFC) vs. Max Holloway (21-5 MMA, 17-5 UFC) for the featherweight title serves as the co-headliner, the Petr Yan (14-1 MMA, 6-0 UFC) meets Jose Aldo (28-6 MMA, 10-5 UFC) for the vacant bantamweight belt in the featured bout. All six men bring strong resumes into the title fights. For more on the numbers, check below for 70 pre-event facts about UFC 251
