The UFC has officially announced a fight card in Saudi Arabia scheduled for December 5, 2026, headlined by the return of former middleweight champion Israel Adesanya against Shara Magomedov.
The promotion confirmed the event on November 8, marking another expansion of UFC's international calendar into the Middle East. Adesanya, a two-time UFC middleweight titleholder, will look to rebound in his first appearance since his last outing.
Magomedov, an undefeated prospect, represents a significant test for the Nigerian-born New Zealander as he aims to re-establish himself in the title picture. Further bout announcements for the card are expected in the coming weeks.
