For the first time, the UFC octagon is in Saudi Arabia. Kingdom Arena in Riyadh hosts Saturday’s fight card. The event is headlined by a middleweight bout between former champion Robert Whittaker and fast-rising Ikram Aliskerov.
Whittaker was originally slated to face 11th-ranked Khamzat Chimaev in the headlining bout but Chimaev was forced to withdrawal due to illness. Whittaker will enter the fight coming off a decision win over Paulo Costa at UFC 298 in February. Aliskerov is riding a seven-fight winning streak with his only career loss coming to Chimaev.
