The UFC is back in Saudi Arabia, with Aussie superstar Robert Whittaker headlining the card against Ikram Aliskerov.
Heavyweight action takes out the co-main event of the evening when Sergei Pavlovich and Alexander Volkov battle it out for a future interim heavyweight title shot.
To top it all off, Welterweights Kelvin Gastelum and Daniel Rodriguez are both desperate for wins and they feature in the middle of the card.

A last-minute change-up will now see number three-ranked Robert Whittaker and unranked Ikram Aliskerov will now see a fascinating scrap between a former world champion and future superstar.
Whittaker was last seen against Paulo Costa earlier this year and “The Reaper” is known for taking the big fights in the Middleweight division with no complaints whatsoever.
Ikram was meant to be the co-main event last week against Antonio Trocoli however, the 31-year-old put his hand up to fill in and take on Robert Whittaker.
It will be a tough matchup for both of them, and a play on Robert Whittaker is screaming value to me.
Co-main event action is set to be nothing short of spectacular, where two prolific knockout artists set to battle it out for a future opportunity at Interim Heavyweight champion Tom Aspinall.
Volkov is coming off a convincing second-round submission victory over Tai Tuivasa whereas Pavlovich was last seen in November, getting knocked out in the first round by Aspinall.
It’s a bit of a coin flip in my eyes, but I’ll take Pavlovich to win in the first round.
It’s the matchup that could outshine the main event as Kelvin Gastelum and Daniel Rodriguez square off on the main card.
Gastelum returned to the welterweight division last year after a disappointing stint at middleweight, while this weekend will be Rodriguez’s first appearance since losing to Ian Garry last year.
Kelvin Gastelum is tough, strong and ready to return to title contention.
He’s my best bet on the card
