UFC has announced that a fight card in Saudi Arabia will be headlined by a middleweight bout between former champion Israel Adesanya and rising contender Shara Magomedov. The co-main event will feature a welterweight clash between Ian Garry and Shavkat Amosov.
The event marks UFC's continued expansion into the Middle East. Adesanya, a former two-time middleweight titleholder, returns to action after his most recent appearance in Seattle on March 28, 2026, where he faced Joe Pyfer. Magomedov, known for his striking prowess, will look to upset the former champion.
Garry and Amosov, both undefeated welterweight prospects, will meet in a high-stakes matchup that could determine a future title challenger.
