UFC 267 official poster highlighted by title-fight double header

The UFC returns to “Fight Island” with a stacked UFC 267 card.

Two title fights take top billing, with UFC light heavyweight champion Jan Blachowicz (28-8 MMA, 11-5 UFC) facing the streaking Glover Teixeira (32-7 MMA, 15-5 UFC) in the main event on Oct. 30 at Etihad Arena in Abu Dhabi. The event is expected to air on ABC.

In the co-main event, newly crowned UFC bantamweight champion Aljamain Sterling (20-3 MMA, 12-3 UFC) will look to silence the critics after his controversial title win when he rematches Petr Yan (15-2 MMA, 7-1 UFC).

Also featured on the poster is unstoppable force Islam Makhachev (20-1 MMA, 9-1 UFC), who will face his biggest test to date in former UFC lightweight champion Rafael dos Anjos (30-13 MMA, 19-13 UFC). Finally, the return of rising star Khamzat Chimaev (9-0 MMA, 3-0 UFC) who will face ranked contender Li Jingliang (17-6 MMA, 9-4 UFC).
