Adesanya (24-4) fights in a non-title bout for the first time since 2019, snapping a string of 12 consecutive championship bouts that stretched across his two different reigns. "The Last Stylebender" is already one of the most decorated middleweights to ever compete, but after hitting the first losing streak of his MMA career, it's now or never for the 35-year-old if he wants to make a third run at gold.
The main card for UFC Saudi Arabia begins at 4 a.m. AEDT, with the prelims starting at 1 a.m. Adesanya and Imavov should make their way to the octagon around 7:30 a.m. AEDT, depending on how long the undercard fights last.
It is Adesanya's (24-4) sixth time fighting in Australia since joining the UFC. He beat Robert Whittaker in Melbourne in 2019 to win the UFC middleweight title. "The Last Stylebender" has gone 0-2 in his last two fights in the country, losing against Sean Strickland and Dricus du Plessis.
The former two-time middleweight champion is ready to return to his winning ways. Despite his losing streak, Adesanya is still ranked second in the division. One win can change everything, from his status as a contender to the fan's interest in him.
"Again, I'm quietly confident with my skills and the work I've put in for this fight, so I can't wait to just go in there and just do the work, and then people are going to be on my d--- again, like, 'oh my god, he's this, he's that, he's amazing' because that's the game we're in."
Imavov (15-4, 1 NC) is ranked fifth. The French fighter is 7-2 in the octagon with one no-contest and is currently on a three-fight win streak. Running through the top ten at middleweight, Adesanya will be his toughest challenge to date.
