UFC adds Shara Magomedov vs. Michael Page to Feb. 1 lineup in Riyadh

Shara Magomedov takes on Michael Page at a UFC Fight Night 250 event Feb. 1 from Kingdom Arena in Riyadh, Saudi Arabia.

UFC CEO Dana White announced the headliner on Saturday.

Magomedov (15-0 MMA, 4-0 UFC) called out former champion Israel Adesanya after scoring a spectacular double backfist knockout of Armen Petrosyan at UFC 308 in Abu Dhabi. Adesanya dismissed Magomedov, but Page said he'd be happy to swoop in and take the fight - and he got his wish.

In his most recent fight, Page (22-3 MMA, 1-1 UFC) was outgrappled in a close decision loss to Ian Machado Garry at UFC 303 in June. "MVP" kept active by competing in a grappling match, where he defeated former WEC champion and former UFC interim champion Carlos Condit in the Polaris 30 main event earlier this month.
