UFC Saudi Arabia Official for December 5, Israel Adesanya Returns Against Shara Magomedov
Israel Adesanya and Ian Garry will look to make big statements as the UFC returns to Saudi Arabia next month.
UFC has officially announced its return to Saudi Arabia for an event on December 5. The fight card will take place at the ANB Arena in Riyadh, headlined by Israel Adesanya against Russian contender Shara Magomedov. Adesanya, who recently parted ways with his gym, sees this as a crucial fight to regain relevance in the 185-pound division.
Magomedov, who called out Adesanya after defeating Michel Pereira, aims to make a powerful statement with a win. The co-headliner features Ian Garry against Yaroslav Amosov, a five-round welterweight bout where Amosov, with a 30-1 record, seeks his first UFC victory. Meanwhile, Garry, who previously challenged for the title against Islam Makhachev, looks to bounce back from defeat.
Other notable bouts include Mario Pinto vs. Serghei Spivac, Levan Chokheli vs. Islam Dulatov, Akbar Abdullaev vs. Mairon Santos, and Ion Cutelaba's fight card appearance.
