UFC Saudi Arabia adds Ion Cutelaba vs. Magomed Tuchalov

More light heavyweights will collide at UFC Saudi Arabia.

Veteran Ion Cutelaba and relative newcomer Magomed Tuchalov are set to throw down Dec. 5 at Kingdom Arena in Riyadh, Saudi Arabia.

Two people with knowledge of the matchup recently informed MMA Junkie of the booking but asked to remain anonymous as the promotion has yet to make an official announcement.

Cutelaba (20-12-1 MMA, 9-11-1 UFC) has become a staple of the division since his debut in 2016, providing many memorable and violent moments over his 21 UFC fights. He enters the bout having won three of his most recent five, looking to bounce back from a March loss to surging top contender Navajo Stirling.

Tuchalov (7-0 MMA, 1-0 UFC) enters the matchup after a successful promotional debut in July during which he defeated Brendson Ribeiro by unanimous decision. Prior to his signing, Tuchalov was the UAE Warriors light heavyweight champion, having knocked out UFC alum Caio Machado in under two minutes to earn that accolade.

The UFC Saudi Arabia lineup includes:

  • Jafel Filho vs. Bruno Silva

  • Matthieu Duclos vs. Modestino Rodrigues

  • Abdul Hussein vs. Hecher Sosa

  • Levan Chokheli vs. Islam Dulatov

  • Ivan Gnizditskiy vs. Uran Satybaldiev

  • Abdul Hussein vs. Hecher Sosa

  • Levan Chokheli vs. Islam Dulatov

  • Ion Cutelaba vs. Magomed Tuchalov
