Israel Adesanya will make his return against a dynamic striker.
Former two-time middleweight champion Adesanya takes on Shara Magomedov in the UFC Fight Night 295 main event on Dec. 5 in Riyadh, Saudi Arabia.
The promotion announced the headliner and card during Saturday's UFC Fight Night 293 broadcast.
Adesanya (24-6 MMA, 13-6 UFC) will look to snap a four-fight losing skid. After getting dethroned by Sean Strickland, "The Stylebender" was finished by Dricus Du Plessis, Nassourdine Imavov, and most recently Joe Pyfer at UFC Fight Night 271 in February.
Magomedov (17-1 MMA, 6-1 UFC), 32, rebounded from his first-career loss to Michael Page, with back-to-back wins over Marc-Andre Barriault, then Michel Pereira at UFC Fight Night 280 in June.
