The UFC kicks off a stacked February schedule on Saturday with UFC Fight Night 250, which takes place at ANB Arena in Riyadh, Saudi Arabia, and streams on ESPN+.

Former UFC middleweight champion Israel Adesanya (24-4 MMA, 13-4 UFC) returns to the octagon in the main event for his first non-title bout in nearly six years. He will take on surging contender Nassourdine Imavov (15-4 MMA, 7-2 UFC), who look to elevate his name into title contention with a win over “The Last Stylebender.”
