UFC 280 is set to take place on Saturday, October 22nd 2022 from the Etihad Arena in Yas Island, Abu Dhabi.

This will be the second to last PPV event for the company in 2022, although there are a number of UFC Fight Night cards still set to take place between now and the end of December.

November is usually the date of a major Madison Square Garden event for the company, and that is the case again this year with UFC 281.

However, it’s arguable that UFC 280 could actually have a better fight card on paper so far and could end up being a date that fight fans will remember for some time!
