UFC on ESPN: Magny vs. Chiesa also known as UFC on ESPN 20 and UFC Fight Island 8 is set to take place on January 20, 2021, at the Etihad Arena on Yas Island, Abu Dhabi, United Arab Emirates.

A welterweight bout between Leon Edwards and Khamzat Chimaev was originally expected to headline this event. They were initially scheduled to serve as the headliner for UFC Fight Night: Thompson vs. Neal in December, but the contest was scrapped due to Edwards suffering from severe symptoms of COVID-19. In turn, Chimaev pulled out of the contest on December 29 due to his own COVID-19 recovery.

Later, it was confirmed that Michael Chiesa vs. Neil Magny will headline UFC Fight Night on Jan. 20, as Leon Edwards pulled off. The plan is to rebook Edwards/Khamzat Chimaev at some point.
