One of the biggest UFC cards of the year is happening this Saturday night as Kamaru Usman and Jorge Masvidal throw down in a huge welterweight clash.

Here is everything you need to know as the UFC travel to Abu Dhabi for the first 'Fight Island’ show.

Who are Kamaru Usman and Jorge Masvidal?

Usman’s professional MMA record stands at 16 victories and one defeat, with his solitary loss coming way back in May 2013.

Meanwhile, Masvidal has been beaten 13 times in 48 MMA fights, but is coming off the back of three successive wins.
