Noura and Saeed, Your children speak great English and are a credit to you both. Thanks for your sacrifices, in being away from them, to make Fight Island possible. While it might have been as much a marketing exercise as a sporting event, you appear to have done phenomenal work. An MMA fan broadly and a UFC fan specifically, I was pleased to be able to watch something with a new flavour and still see the fighters I appreciate. Fight Island was almost extreme, in execution and success, but it certainly is aspirational. I'm sure it was easier to get to Abu Dhabi, and that the destination was more accommodating, than several places in North America. I'm hoping that anyone who thought the country was less than you showed it to be will now fully realise its potential. If your goal was to bring visitors from abroad, when it is possible to come, then mission accomplished. Thank you, both!

The commitment and sacrifices the folks in Abu Dabi have shown to making these events happen is quite remarkable, tons of credit to them for their hospitality and ability to organize.

Thank you UFC. And thank you Abu Dhabi.

What a beautiful video. Thank you

What a treat Fight Island was. Viewed it with the homies and absolutely enjoyed it. All the weekends, even including that random one during the work week. It's the simple things. Food, drinks and your inner circle. Can't go wrong. The UFC collaborated once again with the UAE, Abu Dhabi, Yas Island. 1st class, 5 star treatment to the fighters and staff. It's amazing how quick they can erect such construction in gnarly ass 115 degree weather. EXTREMELY impressive! Till Fight Island Part Deux =]
