Avatar

UFC’s much-awaited Saudi fight night has had everyone talking ever since it was announced. Everyone’s been itching to know who’s going to throw down, and finally, Dana White spilled the beans on X. Robert Whittaker is going to be taking on Khamzat Chimaev as the main card. Talk about EPIC!

Whittaker and Chimaev are gearing up for a showdown in what’s shaping up to be a historic UFC event for the Kingdom. It’s all happening on Sunday, June 23, and the stakes are sky-high: the winner gets a shot at the middleweight title, currently in the hands of Dricus du Plessis.

So, why’s this a big deal for Saudi Arabia? Well, it’s the first time the UFC’s setting up the Octagon in the kingdom that’s becoming a hub for all sports, and they’re bringing a blockbuster fight to mark the occasion. Whittaker, aka ‘The Reaper,’ is ready to prove he’s the man to beat, while Chimaev’s looking to keep his unbeaten streak alive.

And it’s not just about these two; UFC Fight Night Saudi Arabia’s got a full card of fights to get pumped for.

Sergei Pavlovich and Alexander Volkov are set for a heavyweight clash; Kelvin Gastelum and Daniel Rodriguez will duke it out at welterweight; and Johnny Walker’s taking on Volkan Oezdemir.  It’s gonna be one epic night of fights!
