The UFC event in Saudi Arabia, scheduled for February 1 at ANB Arena, will feature a middleweight main event between former champion Israel Adesanya and rising contender Nassourdine Imavov, along with several other notable fights.
UFC Saudi Arabia is just around the corner. The excitement is building as fans eagerly await the event at ANB Arena on February 1st.
Headlining the card, we have a middleweight clash between Israel Adesanya and Nassourdine Imavov. Adesanya, a former two-time champ, is looking to bounce back after a rough patch in his career. He lost his title to Sean Strickland and then fell short against Dricus du Plessis. Ouch.
On the other side, Imavov is making waves. At just 29, he’s surged into true contender status with big wins in 2024. Victories over Roman Dolidze, Jared Cannonier, and Brendan Allen have put him on the brink of a title shot.
The co-main event promises fireworks too! Shara “Bullet” Magomedov faces off against the flashy Michael “Venom” Page. Expect some high-octane action there.
