On Wednesday, White would announce the main event for UFC Saudi Arabia along with a slew of matchups on the card. Middleweights make up the marquee as former UFC Champion Robert Whittaker defends his top spot against undefeated contender Khamzat Chimaev.
The event is scheduled for June 20th at the Kingdom Arena in Riyadh, Saudi Arabia and will air on ABC.
