UFC Fight Island 8: Check Out The New Official Poster

Neil Magny and Michael Chiesa were moved into the headlining spot, after the original main event for UFC Fight Island 8 was cancelled, and a new poster reflecting that fact is out.

Chiesa versus Magny

Originally, UFC Fight Island 8 was set to feature Leon Edwards taking on Khamzat Chimaev. But, the latter is still dealing with complications stemming from COVID-19 and recently had to withdraw.

Magny (24-7) will be competing for the first time since August when he defeated Robbie Lawler by decision. The welterweight contender has won three in a row.

Chiesa (17-4) hasn’t fought since last January when he defeated Rafael dos Anjos by decision. The former TUF winner has also won three straight.
