The UFC has partnered with Flash Entertainment for a Middle East expansion, both with live events and broadcast events. The two-year deal includes a broadcast agreement for “The Ultimate Fighter” reality competition, as well as the UFC’s return to Abu Dhabi for a live event on April 11. The previously reported “Fight Night” event now has a home at Yas Island, a man-made entertainment center in Abu Dhabi. The UFC’s first visit to the region, for UFC 112 in 2010, also took place on Yas Island in an outdoor arena constructed specially for the event. In the main event,  Antonio Rodrigo Nogueira (34-8-1 MMA, 5-4 UFC) meets “TUF 10″ winner  Roy Nelson (19-9 MMA, 6-5 UFC) in a heavyweight bout. The card will stream on UFC Fight Pass
