The UFC has released the official promotional poster for the upcoming UFC Fight Island 8: Chiesa vs. Magny event.<\/p>\n

The card is slated for January 20 on Yas Island in Abu Dhabi. It was originally expected to be headlined by a welterweight clash between No. 3-ranked contender Leon Edwards and rising prospect Khamzat Chimaev. When Chimaev was forced off the bill due to lingering COVID-19 symptoms, however, co-headliners Michael Chiesa and Neil Magny were elevated to the main event spot.<\/p>\n

Chiesa and Magny, both top-15 UFC welterweights, are the stars of the official poster for the card. See it below:<\/p>\n

Michael Chiesa (16-4) will enter the UFC Fight Island 8 main event with a perfect 3-0 mark as a welterweight. Since moving to the division, the former lightweight has beaten former interim welterweight champion Carlos Condit, Ultimate Fighter winner Diego Sanchez, and most recently, former UFC lightweight champion Rafael dos Anjos. That success has earned him the No. 8 spot in the promotion’s official welterweight rankings.<\/p>\n

Neil Magny (24-7), on the other hand, currently holds the No. 9 spot in the UFC welterweight rankings. He’s currently riding victories over Li Jingliang, Anthony Rocco Martin, and most recently, former UFC welterweight champion Robbie Lawler, who he defeated by decision on short notice.<\/p>\n
