Mixed martial arts fans had a week off from excitement after UFC 311, but on Saturday, February 1, the action will resume with UFC Fight Night 250, which will feature the main event fight between Israel Adesanya and Nassourdine Imavov, in which no title will be at stake, from the ANB Arena in Riyadh, Saudi Arabia.
It will be the first time Israel Adesanya (24-4) has not fought on a numbered (PPV) event since 2017, although he made it clear that it is something he does not care about: “I’m still getting paid. There’s still a referee, there’s two of us and there’s a crowd. It’s not like in the Apex or anything like that, so it doesn’t feel any different.”
The Nigerian’s opponent will be Frenchman Nassourdine Imavov (15-4), who will be looking to put himself in a position to be considered for the middleweight title, although he will have to be patient, because before that he is in line Khamzat Chimaev waiting to see what will happen between the champion Dricus Du Plessis against Sean Strickland at UFC 312 next week
