Welcome to the First UFC Event in Saudi Arabia: Chimaev vs. Whittaker
The highly anticipated UFC event in Saudi Arabia is finally here, and it promises to be an unforgettable night of fights. Headlining the card is a middleweight No. 1 contender’s bout between rising star Khamzat Chimaev and former champion Robert Whittaker. This event marks the beginning of a new partnership between the UFC and the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia, expanding the promotion’s reach in the Middle East.
The main event features Chimaev, who is coming off a thrilling victory over former welterweight champion Kamaru Usman. With a perfect 13-0 record, including seven consecutive wins in the UFC, Chimaev is quickly becoming one of the most talked about fighters in the promotion. But he’ll face his toughest test yet in Whittaker, who is coming off an impressive win over Paulo Costa and is determined to reclaim his title.
But the excitement doesn’t stop there. The co-main event sees heavyweight contenders Sergei Pavlovich and Alexander Volkov go head to head in a clash of powerhouses. And in a welterweight showdown, fan favorite Kelvin Gastelum takes on the dangerous Daniel Rodriguez. Plus, Johnny Walker returns to the octagon to face Volkan Oezdemir in a light heavyweight bout.
And let’s not forget the highly anticipated matchup between Shara Bullet and Ihor Potieria in the light heavyweight division. This fight is sure to be a showstopper as both fighters look to make a statement in their UFC debut.
