The UFC’s first Middle Eastern card of 2025 is set to be headlined by a pivotal matchup in the middleweight division when New Zealand’s own Israel Adesanya battles up-and-coming French contender Nassourdine Imavov in the UFC Saudi Arabia main event.
Setting the table for this high-stakes matchup is another 185-lb scrap that promises to be an entertaining one, as Shara Magomedov takes on previous Bellator megastar Michael Page in the UFC Saudi Arabia co-main event.
Having once held the middleweight championship, and defended it five times, Adesanya is easily one of the greatest fighters the weight class has ever seen.
