Adesanya, a former two-time UFC middleweight champion, enters Riyadh on the back of two straight defeats: a submission by Dricus Du Plessis in August, and a shock points loss to Sean Strickland in 2023.
Israel Adesanya will try to snap a two-fight losing streak next weekend, as he fights Nassourdine Imavov in Saudi Arabia.
But Adesanya, a modern great, is the bookies’ favourite in this main event with Imavov, despite the former champion’s poor form and his opponent’s win streak.
The prelims will start at 2pm GMT (6am PT / 8am CT / 9am ET), with the main card following at 5pm GMT (9am PT / 11am CT / 12pm ET).
Former middleweight champion Israel Adesanya faces rising contender Nassourdine Imavov in Riyadh.
