The UFC returns to Saudi Arabia this Saturday night for a Fight Night card in Riyadh where once again, the stars are out.
Former two-time middleweight champion Israel Adesanya returns for his first non-title fight since 2019 when he takes on a dark horse of the division.
"The Last Stylebender" is coming off of back-to-back losses for the first time in his MMA career after suffering defeats against Dricus Du Plessis and Sean Strickland.
He will now face a rising middleweight contender who has earned the #5-ranking following a three-fight win streak.
France's Nassourdine Imavov has beaten Roman Dolidze, Jared Cannonier and Brendan Allen to arrive in this spot but now he has the chance to add one of the biggest names in the sport to his record.
The co-main event may not have the same kind of stakes at 185-pounds but it's a match-up that every MMA fan is going to be excited about.
In his third UFC bout, Michael "Venom" Page moves up a weight class to take on a fellow striking specialist when he faces the undefeated Shara "Bullet" Magomedov who has made a big impact in four Octagon appearances.
Both men have got incredibly impressive highlight reels meaning that we should get some edge of your seat striking exchanges with neither opponent hunting for takedowns.
The main card also features a top 10 clash at heavyweight when knockout artists Sergei Pavlovich and Jairzinho Rozenstruik meet for the first time.
Two other great match-ups also feature on the main card with Said Nurmagomedov facing Vinicius Oliveira at bantamweight and Fares Ziam colliding with Mike Davis in the lightweight division.
On the prelims, a big flyweight clash takes place between Jasmine Jasudavicius and the former bantamweight title challenger Mayra Bueno Silva along with several other under the radar bouts like Muhammad Naimov versus Kaan Ofli.
