Israel Adesanya and Nassourdine Imavov will meet for a highly-anticipated bout on Saturday as the pair headline UFC Fight Night in Saudi Arabia – live on TNT Sports and discovery+.

Adesanya (24-4-0) will compete in his first non-title fight in six years, as the 35-year-old veteran looks to avenge back-to-back defeats against Dricus Du Plessis and Sean Strickland.

Meanwhile, an in-form Imavov (15-4-0) is looking to record a fourth successive victory after defeating Roman Dolidze, Jared Cannonier and Brendan Allen in a prolific 2024.

Imavov, 28, has not tasted defeat since he was beaten by former champion Strickland back in January 2023, while Adesanya has not been on the right side of a result since his TKO victory over Alex Pereira for the middleweight title in April that year.

Saturday's card will also see fellow middleweight contenders Michael Page and the unbeaten Shara Magomedov meet in the Octagon.

Russia's Magomedov is eyeing a fifth consecutive victory, while England's Page is hopeful of bouncing back from a loss to Ian Machado Garry.
