UFC ‘Fight Island’ adds Francisco Trinaldo vs. Jai Herbert to July 25 lineup

It’ll be Brazil vs. England on UFC “Fight Island.”

A lightweight fight has been added to the promotion’s July 25 event as Francisco Trinaldo and Jai Herbert have been booked against one another. They’ll fight on Yas Island, Abu Dhabi as part of the UFC’s fourth event in a 15-day stretch.
