Former middleweight champion, the Australian Robert whittaker recovered from the tough defeat suffered in a title eliminator against Dricus Du Plessis when beating the Brazilian Paulo borrachinha last February. In the path of his dream of a new reign will be the Russian prospect Ikram Aliskerov, who won his two fights in the organization by knockout.
In the co-main fight, the former challenger for the interim heavyweight belt (up to 120,2kg) Sergei Pavlovich tries to return to the path of victories and, to do so, he will need to stop the rise of his compatriot Alexander Volkov who arrives in Saudi Arabia fueled by three consecutive victories.
Brazil on the card
Coming from defeat to Magomed Ankalayev last January, the light heavyweight (up to 93kg) Johnny Walker seeks to resume the good moment he was experiencing against the former title challenger Volkan oezdemir, which is experiencing an irregular sequence of results in the organization.
Also on the main card, the Brazilian Antonio Trocoli accepted a last-minute call to replace Joílton Peregrino and will have the tough task of sharing the octagon against the Russian Shara Magomedov, which debuted with a resounding victory over Bruno Blindado and is undefeated in professional MMA. The fight will take place in the middleweight division.
Another Brazilian called in a hurry, Manauara Felipe Lima debut in the organization against the Tajik Muhammad Naimov, a rising star in the featherweight division (up to 65,7kg) who is undefeated in three fights in the organization. In the second duel of the night, the light heavyweight (up to 93kg) Brendson Ribeiro tries to redeem himself from the defeat suffered in his debut with the company and shares the octagon with the Qatari Magomed Gadzhiyasulov.
