UFC Fight Night Riyadh 2025 fight card
The event will be headlined by not one, but two main fights (we did say it was going to be explosive).
The first fight will see former UFC middleweight champion Israel Adesanya, famously known as “The Last Stylebender,” face off against the rising star No.4 ranked middleweight, Nassourdine Imavov.
Adesanya (24-4-0, fighting out of Auckland, New Zealand, by way of Lagos, Nigeria) is one of the most decorated UFC fighters. He returns to the Octagon after a narrow loss against UFC middleweight champion Dricus Du Plessis earlier this year.
Imavov (15-4-0, fighting out of Paris, France, by way of Dagestan) hopes to keep his momentum building following a statement win over contender Brendan Allen.
In a clash of middleweight challengers, No. 14 ranked Shara Magomedov takes on super star Michael “Venom” Page in the co-main event, adding even more excitement to the night.
Magomedov (15-0-0, fighting out of Moscow Russia, by way of Dagestan) has wasted no time turning heads since joining UFC in 2023. He boasts wins over Armen Petrosyan and Michał Oleksiejczuk.
Page (22-3-0, fighting out of London, England) vows to get back to the win column as he takes on Magomedov. Known for his kickboxing, Page has his sights on putting on a powerful performance against Magomedov.
UFC and Riyadh
In addition to the February Fight Night, there will also be the incredibly cool UFC Power Slap. The event will do its Kingdom’s debut in 2025. Part of Riyadh Season 2024-2025 there will also be a Fury v Uysk rematch and tickets for the hotly anticipated fight have gone live.
