Below is all the information you need on the UFC Saudi Arabia fight card, including date, time, location, and how to watch or stream the event.

UFC Saudi Arabia Fight Card Main Event: Israel Adesanya Vs. Nassourdine Imavov

Adesanya (24-4) , who is the No. 2 ranked fighter in the UFC’s 185-pound division, is riding the first two-fight losing skid of his MMA career. The 35-year-old saw his second run as UFC middleweight champion end in September 2023 when he dropped a one-sided decision to Sean Strickland in a fight where he was an enormous betting favorite.

The ex-champ had an opportunity to become a three-time UFC titleholder in August 2024, but fell short in that bout, losing to Dricus Du Plessis by rear-naked choke in the fourth round of their UFC 305 battle. The loss was the first submission defeat of Adesanya’s career.

Imavov (15-4-0-1) is ranked fifth in the UFC middleweight division ahead of his UFC Saudi Arabia main event matchup against Adesanya. Imavov is riding a four-fight unbeaten streak. His most recent outing was a unanimous decision win over Brendan Allen in September.

Imavov’s most recent loss came in January 2023 when Sean Strickland bested him via unanimous decision.
