UFC Saudi Arabia odds: Betting lines open for Israel Adesanya, Ian Garry fights

Ultimate Fighting Championship (UFC) recently announced its main and co-main event for the upcoming UFC Saudi Arabia mixed martial arts (MMA) extravaganza on Sat., Dec. 5, 2026 at ANB Arena in Riyadh. Topping the Paramount+ fight card is the middleweight showdown between former 185-pound champion Israel Adesanya and one-eyed challenger Sharabutdin Magomedov.

Adesanya (24-6) is currently a slight betting favorite at -150 against +130 for Magomedov (17-1), according to BetOnline. “The Last Stylebender” opened at -205, promoting an influx of cash on “Bullet.”

Similarly, former UFC welterweight title challenger Ian Garry (17-2) opened at -185 for his co-headlining affair opposite No. 13-ranked Yaroslav Amosov (30-1). “The Future” has since been trimmed down to -145 opposite +125 for the Ukrainian “Dynamo.”

This could be a make-or-break fight for Adesanya’s career, as “The Last Stylebender” has dropped four straight and five of his last six. More worrisome is the fact that Adesanya, now 37, has been finished in four of those six losses.

As for Garry, who turns 29 later this month, this marks his first appearance since coming up short in his 170-pound title shot against Islam Makhachev at UFC 330 last August.
