UFC Fight Night is set to return to Saudi Arabia on December 5 with a double-header topped by a middleweight clash between former two-time champion Israel Adesanya and rising contender Shara Magomedov, known as "Shara Bullet."
The co-main event features a welterweight bout between Ian Machado Garry and former Bellator champion Yaroslav Amosov, also scheduled for five rounds.
Magomedov has publicly called for a fight with Adesanya since 2024 and again in June 2025. While Adesanya initially dismissed the matchup, his recent form has made the booking more plausible. Adesanya enters on a four-fight losing streak, including three consecutive stoppages, the latest a knockout loss to Joe Pyfer in Seattle in March.
Magomedov, by contrast, holds a 6-1 record in the UFC and is coming off victories over Michel Pereira and Marc-Andre Barriault.
Machado Garry previously challenged Islam Makhachev for the welterweight title and gave the champion a difficult fight, while Amosov has remained undefeated in the Octagon, most recently submitting Joel Alvarez. Amosov also has a notable personal history, having retrieved the Bellator welterweight title from the ruins of his mother's home during the defense of Ukraine.
