Legendary footballer Cristiano Ronaldo will be in Saudi Arabia to cheer on undefeated Russian sensation Shara Magomedov.
Emanating from ANB Arena in Riyadh, the UFC returns to the Middle East with a loaded Fight Night card topped by a middleweight headliner between former two-time champion Israel Adesanya and rising contender Nassourdine Imavov. In the co-main event of the evening, former Bellator standout Michael ‘Venom’ Page steps back inside the Octagon for a showdown with Magomedov.
Speaking with ex-titleholder Michael Bisping ahead of Saturday’s festivities in Riyadh, ‘Bullet’ revealed that he had previously spoken with Ronaldo about all things UFC and confirmed that the captain of Saudi Pro League club Al Nassr FC would be in attendance to take in all the action.
