Former two-time undisputed middleweight kingpin, Israel Adesanya is closing as a rather short betting favorite to snap his two-fight losing run next month in the headliner of UFC Saudi Arabia — as the ex-titleholder takes on surging force, Nassourdine Imavov.
Adesanya, who still remains the number two rank at the middleweight limit, has been sidelined since last August, headlining UFC 305 in a trip to Sydney, Australia.
Suffering a second consecutive defeat for the first time in his entire mixed martial arts career, City Kickboxing megastar, Adesanya dropped an eventual face crank submission defeat to defending gold holder, Dricus du Plessis in their heated grudge pairing.
