UFC 304 is in the books and a new champion was crowned. Belal Muhammad dethroned Leon Edwards to become the new welterweight champion. In the co-main event, Tom Aspinall beat Curtis Blaydes in just 60 seconds to retain his interim heavyweight title. But the UFC is packing up the Octagon and heading to the Middle East for it's next Fight Night card.

UFC Abu Dhabi takes place on Saturday, August 3. The fight card is headlined by a bantamweight fight between No. 2 ranked Cory Sandhagen and No. 10 ranked Umar Nurmagomedov. In the co-main Shara "Bullet" Magomedov steps in on short notice to fight Michal Oleksiejczuk. The previously scheduled co-main between Nick Diaz and Vicente Luque was scrapped due to "visa issues" for Diaz. Check out the full card below, bout order is subject to change.
