Last Time in Saudi Arabia

It’s always a memorable moment when the Octagon travels to a new place in the world. That was the feeling last June when UFC touched down in the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia for the first time. It wasn’t easy to get there, as Ikram Aliskerov stepped in to face to Robert Whittaker in the main event when Khamzat Chimaev had to withdraw due to health reasons.

Next week, the Octagon returns to Riyadh, Saudi Arabia for the second time with a stacked card headlined by former middleweight Israel Adesanya and rising contender Nassourdine Imavov. Before we get there, let’s take a look at some of the highlights from the last time we were in Saudi Arabia.
