Robert Whittaker and Ikram Aliskerov headline tonight's UFC Fight Night event in Saudi Arabia, with both men looking to use this bout as a springboard to a middleweight title shot down the line.
The two middleweights go at it after Khamzat Chimaev dropped out, to be replaced by Alikserov.
Here's everything you need to know ahead of Whittaker vs. Aliskerov.
The UFC had to adapt to an unfortunate situation and now will host an event in Saudi Arabia without Khamzat Chimaev. Instead, former opponent Ikram Aliskerov will step up and face former world champion Robert Whittaker.
Whittaker is a former UFC middleweight champion who is 2-2 in his last four fights. The New Zealand-born Australian is ranked third in the UFC's middleweight rankings, and a win could put him back to being the number one contender.
Finding out right before a fight a game plan must be thrown out the window can be frustrating, but Whittaker is ready to continue as if it’s business as usual.
“I flew out here, and I understand I’m the main event of the card that comes with a level of responsibility, it’s how I earn my living. I wanted to fight, I wanted the show to go on, and I wanted to do my job, so hats off to Ikram for taking the fight and to the UFC for setting it up, and I look forward to putting on a show,” Whittaker said via BJPenn.com.
Chimaev had to back out after being too “violently ill” to compete. He beat Aliskerov in 2019. Since then, Aliskerov has won seven straight, with only one fight going the distance. The Russian has seven gold medals in Sambo and is 3-0 inside the octagon.
The card also features Sergei Pavlovich, ranked third in the heavyweight rankings, facing former Bellator and M-1 Global heavyweight champion Alexander Volkov, ranked fifth. Kelvin Gastelum returns to action, as well as Muhammad Naimov, on a six-fight win streak.
