UFC and the new year
Dana White will begin the year at Abu Dhabi in Yas Island, where UFC will possibly host 3 events in January. The first event will be UFC Fight Night, headlined by Max Holloway vs Calvin Kattar.
The second event was scheduled with a headliner between Leon Edwards and Khamzat Chimaev. However, Chimaev is out of the contest and Edwards will need a new opponent to put on a show.

Apart from that, 2021 will see Israel Adesanya go up to the light heavyweight division to chase Jan Blachowicz for the title. Former light heavyweight champion Jon Jones will also take a step ahead to capture the heavyweight gold.
