The MMA leader resumes action on Saturday night with a stacked UFC Fight Night 250 card, which takes place at the Kingdom Arena.
Topping the bill is a pivotal middleweight match-up between former champion Israel Adesanya and surging contender Nassourdine Imavov.
Fan favourite Adesanya will look to get back to winning ways following consecutive defeats to Sean Strickland and Dricus Du Plessis.
Dagestani-born Frenchman Imavov, meanwhile, will look to punch his ticket to title contention with the biggest win of his career.
The middleweight division will also be showcased in a thriller of a co-main event.
Brit Michael ‘Venom’ Page will throw down with one-eyed phenom Sharabutdin ‘Bullet’ Magomedov in a clash of strikers.
The bout will be Page’s first at 185lbs and his first since he suffered a decision defeat to Ian Garry in June.
UFC Fight Night 250 is jam-packed with entertaining fights.
