The world of MMA continued to flourish throughout a difficult 2020 with UFC boss Dana White determined to keep the action going.
Events have taken place behind closed doors since March but there was some truly memorable nights.
Usman beat Jorge Masvidal at UFC 251 on ‘Fight Island’ in July and the company was back in Abu Dhabi in the autumn as Adeasanya defended his middleweight title against Paulo Costa.
In October, Khabib Nurmagomedov claimed a stunning win over Justin Gaethje in the headline bout of UFC 254 before the legendary Russian retired from the sport.
