Ready for some coffee and fights?

UFC Saudi Arabia went down THIS MORNING (Sat., Feb. 1, 2025) inside anb Arena in Riyadh, Saudi Arabia. The promotion’s first international mixed martial arts (MMA) event of the year was streamed LIVE on ESPN+. The main event was former Middleweight champion, Israel Adesanya, taking on rising contender, Nassourdine Imavov.

UFC Saudi Arabia’s co-main event promised action (in more ways than one). Both Shara “Bullet” Magomedov and Michael “Venom” Page are known for flashy striking and finishes.

Rounding out UFC Saudi Arabia’s main card was Sergei Pavlovich vs. Jairzinho Rozenstruik, Said Nurmagomedov vs. Vinicius Oliveira and Fares Ziam vs. Mike Davis. Ziam looked incredible at UFC Paris.

Meanwhile, UFC Saudi Arabia’s “Prelims” included Muhammad Naimov vs. Kaan Ofli and Jasmine Jasudavicius vs. Mayra Bueno SIlva. Bueno Silva lost her last fight via brutal cut.
