On Wednesday, the UFC returned to our screens for the second time this week with UFC Fight Island 8: “Chiesa vs. Magny” from Fight Island in Abu Dhabi.

The card, which began at 9:00am ET, was originally scheduled to be headlined by a welterweight fight between No. 3-ranked contender Leon Edwards and rising prospect Khamzat Chimaev. When Chimaev was forced out of the fight, however, the main event spot went to ranked welterweight contenders Michael Chiesa and Neil Magny.

Chiesa will enter the cage at UFC Fight Island 8 with three wins in the rear-view, having beaten former UFC interim welterweight champion Carlos Condit, Diego Sanchez, and former UFC lightweight champion Rafael dos Anjos since moving to welterweight from lightweight. Magny, meanwhile, will step into the cage riding a trio of wins over Li Jingliang, Anthony Rocco Martin, and former UFC welterweight champion Robbie Lawler.

Other highlights of the UFC Fight Island 8 card include a welterweight co-main event between Warley Alves and Mounir Lazzez, and appearances from a number of highly regarded prospects.
