UFC FightNight Whittaker vs. Aliskerov June 22nd 2024 Preview.

On Saturday, Jun, 22, the UFC makes its first stop in Saudi Arabia, when UFC Fight Night: Whittaker vs. Aliskerov lands at the Kingdom Arena in Riyadh. The headliner was originally supposed to be former middleweight champion Robert Whittaker taking on eleventh-ranked Khamzat Chimaev, but Chimaev had to pull out on short notice due to an illness. Filing his spot will be Ikram Aliskerov, who will only be making his third UFC appearance. Since Whittaker first lost his title to Israel Adesanya in Oct. 2019, he has gone 5-2, with his only two losses coming in his rematch with Adesanya and in a title-contender bout against now-champion Dricus du Plessis. He bounced back from the latter loss with a dominant performance over Paulo Costa last February. Currently sitting at No. 3, a win would get him close to another title shot. However, his new opponent is no slouch. Aliskerov is a pupil of Abdulmanap Nurmagomedov, and he is currently sitting at 15-1 as a pro with his sole loss being a first-round knockout at the hands of the aforementioned Chimaev under the BRAVE CF banner five years ago. He came into the UFC through the Contender Series, and has since gone 2-0 in the promotion with first-round knockouts of Phil Hawes and Warlley Alves. A win over Whittaker on short notice would catapult him directly to the top five in the middleweight rankings. The co-main event features a battle of the big men, as fifth-ranked Alexander Volkov takes on third-ranked Sergei Pavolvich in a heavyweight affair. Pavlovich was on a six-fight winning streak before getting knocked out in his last fight by Tom Aspinall for the interim strap. Volkov is currently on a three-fight winning streak, which includes two knockouts, followed by a submission of Tai Tuivasa in his last outing. Both men are pining for a title shot in a division whose title has gone stagnant with Jon Jones yet to be booked for a title defense.
