News of the fight night was first released last October by Turki Alalshikh, chairman of the General Authority for Entertainment, on his X. The event will feature UFC’s most successful and internationally known fighters.
It is still not yet known which fights will be placed on the Saudi Arabia Fight Night card, but further details of the fight card will be announced in the coming weeks. This will be UFC’s first-ever card in the Kingdom.
A booming destination for fights and professional wrestling
First, it was the Tyson Fury vs Francis Ngannou: The Battle of the Baddest, which took place at the Riyadh Season opening, and then it’s the announcement about an epic showdown next month between two undefeated boxing champs, Tyson Fury and Oleksandr Usyk.
Amidst an array of fascinating activities happening during the fourth edition of Riyadh Season, the UFC Fight Night stands out as one of the highlights, and anticipation is building Big Time for a night that promises to be nothing short of extraordinary.
Beyond the octagon, Riyadh Season also immerses visitors in a diverse array of entertainment options, including concerts, exhibitions, dining experiences, and unique events featuring renowned celebrities and leading brands.
Stay tuned as further details are expected to be announced in due course.
