The UFC makes its second visit to Saudi Arabia early in the 2025 calendar with UFC Fight Night 250, which features Israel Adesanya vs. Nassourdine Imavov 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):
