The Ultimate Fighting Championship’s return to Saudi Arabia on Saturday provides a decent slate of prelims with some definite highlights. Given the lack of depth in the UFC heavyweight division, it’s nice to see some interesting talents back in action. The featured spot on the UFC Fight Night 250 undercard sees Shamil Gaziev continue his path back to some significant fights against Thomas Petersen, while the opener sees Hamdy Abdelwahab return from a long layoff to build on a promising Octagon debut. Meanwhile, a women’s flyweight tilt pitting Jasmine Jasudavicius against Mayra Bueno Silva carries the most immediate stakes in terms of high-level positioning within a division.
