UFC Fight Night: Adesanya vs. Imavov (also known as UFC Fight Night 250 and UFC on ESPN+ 108) was a mixed martial arts event produced by the Ultimate Fighting Championship that took place on February 1, 2025, at the anb Arena in Riyadh, Saudi Arabia.[2][3]

Background

The event marked the promotion's second visit to Riyadh and first since UFC on ABC: Whittaker vs. Aliskerov in June 2024.[2]

A middleweight bout between former two-time UFC Middleweight Champion Israel Adesanya and Nassourdine Imavov headlined this event.[4]

A middleweight bout between Ikram Aliskerov and André Muniz was expected to take place at the event.[5] The pair was originally scheduled to compete at UFC on ESPN: Perez vs. Taira in June 2024, but Muniz withdrew from the bout after he suffered a foot fracture.[6] In turn, the bout was cancelled once again and was rescheduled for UFC Fight Night 257 as Muniz and his team had visa issues.[7][8]

A lightweight bout between Jordan Leavitt and Abdul-Kareem Al-Selwady was scheduled for this event.[9] However, Leavitt withdrew for unknown reasons and was replaced by Bolaji Oki.[10] In turn, one week prior to the event, Oki withdrew from the fight for unknown reasons, so the bout was subsequently cancelled.[11]

A lightweight rematch between former KSW Lightweight and Featherweight Champion Mateusz Gamrot and Rafael Fiziev was reportedly linked to this event.[12] They previously headlined UFC Fight Night: Fiziev vs. Gamrot in September 2023, where Gamrot won due to an injury.[13] However, the bout was never officially scheduled for the card.[14]

At the weigh-ins, Lucas Alexander weighed in at 148.5 pounds, two and a half pounds over the featherweight non-title fight limit. The bout proceeded at catchweight with Alexander forfeiting 30% of his purse which went to his opponent Bogdan Grad.[15]
