Summary

While Nassourdine Imavov picked up the biggest win of his fighting career in the main event of UFC Saudi Arabia, his opponent, and former two-time champion Israel Adesanya suffered his third straight loss. What's next for "The Last Stylebender" after falling short in his first non-title fight in over five years? On an all-new edition of On To the Next One, MMA Fighting's Mike Heck and Alexander K. Lee discuss what's next for Imavov following his impressive second-round knockout victory in the headliner, along with Adesanya. Additionally, future matchups are discussed for co-main even winner Michael Page after his lopsided decision victory over Shara Bullet in his UFC middleweight debut, Sergei Pavlovich following his decision win against Jairzinho Rozenstruik, along with fellow main card winners Vinicius Oliveira and Fares Ziam, and more.
