Saw this in BJ Penn about what the UFC has told Islam about his next fight.

Charles deserves better than to have to fight in Abu Dhabi again. He should have never had to fight there as Champion in the first place. This fight should be somewhere else. New setting. New environment. New energy. The UFC is selling Charles out again if there’s a second fight in Abu Dhabi.

I would say it should be where Islam wants his next defense. The leverage should be his being the sitting champion, having already beaten said potential challenger, and having just accepted and fought his first defense in enemy territory. Just my opinion though. Charles should take the shot where it's offered and just get in there and go for it.
