UFC Debuts in Saudi Arabia with Adesanya Bout
Former UFC middleweight champion Israel Adesanya is set to face Nassourdine Imavov in a non-title fight at UFC’s debut show in Saudi Arabia on February 1, 2025, at the ANB Arena in Riyadh. This will be Adesanya's first non-title bout since 2019, following a series of losses to champions Dricus du Plessis and Sean Strickland. Imavov, ranked fifth in the middleweight division, is entering the fight on a three-fight winning streak. The co-main event features Michael 'Venom' Page moving up to middleweight to challenge the undefeated Shara 'Bullet' Magomedov, known for his striking skills. This event is part of Saudi Arabia's ambitious sports program and marks an important opportunity for Adesanya to regain form and potentially earn another title shot. UFC CEO Dana White confirmed the fights via social media, highlighting the significance of the matchups for both Adesanya and the rising stars involved.
