Adesanya vs Imavov the main evnet of the UFC in Arabia

Israel Adesanya will appear in the main event of the UFC in Saudi Arabia. The organization has announced the name of the opponent, which will be Nassourdine Imavov.

Israel Adesanya will face Nassourdine Imavov in the evening bout of the UFC gala in Saudi Arabia. This event will take place on February 1, 2025 and will be a collaboration between Dana White and Turki Alalshikh.

Israel Adesanya will return to the UFC octagon after two straight defeats. The former middleweight champion is in such a situation for the first time in his career in professional MMA. Previously, The Last Stylebender lost two consecutive fights fighting in kickboxing in 2017.

Nassourdine Imavov is on the opposite end of his career. The French representative has won three fights in a row, and in total he has recorded six victories in his last seven bouts. Imavov is clearly on a roll, and losing on points to Sean Strickland does not disgrace him.

The Adesanya vs Imavov clash has been contracted for five rounds in the middleweight category limit. The fighters will face each other on February 1 in the evening bout of the UFC gala at the anb Arena in Riyadh.
