The UFC has confirmed the complete fight card for it’s upcoming event in Saudi Arabia on December 5, including two big-name matchups in the main and co-main event slots.
In the headline bout, former middleweight champion Israel Adesanya takes on fan favorite Shara “Bullet” Magomedov.
Adesanya is currently riding a disastrous 4-fight losing streak after being stopped by Joe Pyfer at UFC Seattle in March. “The Last Stylebender” hasn’t tasted victory since he knocked out Alex Pereira to regain the world middleweight title at UFC 287 in April of 2023.
Magomedov suffered the sole defeat of his career against Michael “Venom” Page when the UFC visted Saudi Arabia in February of 2025 but has since picked up a pair of decision victories over Marc-Andre Barriault and Michel Pereira.
In the co-main event, Ian Machado Garry returns for the first time since his welterweight title fight defeat against Islam Makhachev at UFC 330 when he takes on Yaroslav Amosov over five rounds.
UFC Saudi Arabia takes place at ANB Arena in Riyadh, Saudi Arabia on December 5.
