UFC
Saudi Arabia has lost a proposed middleweight clash between
Andre
Muniz and Ikram
Aliskerov one week before the event.
Muniz announced via Instagram stories that the fight has been
postponed due to passport issues, but he expects it to be
rescheduled at an unspecified date in the future. UFC Fight Night
250 takes place on Saturday at The Venue in Riyadh, Saudi Arabia,
and is headlined by a 185-pound showdown pitting Israel
Adesanya against Nassourdine
Imavov. The event will proceed with 12 fights.
Muniz snapped a two-bout skid in his last outing, when he took
split verdict over Jun Yong
Park at UFC Fight Night 233 in December 2023. The Brazilian
jiu-jitsu ace is 6-2 since debuting in the Las Vegas-based
promotion in 2019.
Aliskerov hasn’t competed since falling to Robert
Whittaker via first-round knockout in a short-notice main event
appearance at UFC on ABC 6 last June. Prior to that, he scored
consecutive stoppages against Warlley
Alves and Phil Hawes
in his first two promotional outings.
