The UFC makes its second visit to Saudi Arabia early in the 2025 calendar with UFC Fight Night 250, which features [autotag]Israel Adesanya[/autotag] vs. [autotag]Nassourdine Imavov[/autotag] in the main event.
The octagon will touch down in the budding combat sports region with a strong lineup, which takes place Feb. 1 at anb Arena in Riyadh (ESPN+), and former middleweight champ Adesanya (24-4 MMA, 13-4 UFC) returns to action for his first non-title bout in six years when he clashes with the streaking Imavov (15-4 MMA, 7-2 UFC) in a five-round contest.
Naturally, the headlining bout got primary real estate on the official event poster, which the UFC dropped on Monday, but it also features the middleweight co-main event between the unbeaten Shara Magomedov (15-0 MMA, 4-0 UFC) and former Bellator contender Michael Page (22-3 MMA, 1-1 UFC).
Check out the poster below, as well as the latest UFC Fight Night 250 lineup (via X):
