BJ Penn and Vitor Belfort in Abu Dhabi

UFC lightweight champion BJ ‘The Prodigy’ Penn and Vitor ‘The Phenom’ Belfort were both in Abu Dhabi doing a press conference with the UFC.

UFC 112 will see the biggest fight card ever put together outside of North America, and one of the most significant in UFC history, all staged in the very first open air UFC arena on Yas Island. It will be a historic night as the world’s greatest indoor mixed martial arts sporting event goes outdoors for the first time in its history.

Topped by a double main event, two UFC world titles will be on the line at UFC 112. First, UFC lightweight champion BJ ‘The Prodigy’ Penn puts his belt on the line against No.1 contender Frankie ‘The Answer’ Edgar. Then UFC middleweight king Anderson ‘The Spider’ Silva defends his crown against fellow Brazilian striker, Vitor ‘The Phenom’ Belfort.
