Muniz fight rescheduled
Aliskerov will take on Andre Muniz at UFC Kansas City on April 26, per Marcel Dorff of Eurosport.nl.
ANALYSIS
The previously scheduled bout between these two fighters was to take place in Saudi Arabia before it was called off due to passport issues, but it appears the two will meet in Kansas City. Aliskerov will look to bounce back from his recent defeat at the hands of Robert Whittaker and get back to his winning ways. Look for this fight to be a wrestling clinic as both fighters boast impressive records in submission finishes (5-0 for Aliskerov, 15-1 for Muniz).

Fight called off
Aliskerov will no longer fight Andre Muniz at UFC Saudi Arabia on Feb. 1, Marcel Dorff of Eurosport.nl reports.
ANALYSIS
Muniz is reportedly dealing with passport issues, so a fight between him and Aliskerov has fallen through for a second time. The 32-year-old middleweight will now have to wait a bit longer to bounce back from his loss to Robert Whittaker in June.

Fighting Muniz in February
Aliskerov will fight Andre Muniz at UFC Saudi Arabia on Feb. 1, Marcel Dorff of Eurosport.nl reports.
ANALYSIS
After dropping his most recent fight against Robert Whittaker -- Aliskerov's first professional loss since 2019 -- the 31-year-old Russian will get a chance to redeem himself against Muniz, who has lost two of his last three bouts and hasn't competed since December 2023.

Crushed in first UFC main event
Aliskerov lost to Robert Whittaker via KO (punches) at 1:49 of Round 1 at UFC Fight Night on Saturday in Riyadh, Saudi Arabia.
ANALYSIS
Well, that will put an end to the Aliskerov hype train in overwhelming fashion. Ikram entered as a just a +125 underdog against a future Hall of Famer despite the fact he had just two UFC appearances under his belt, knockouts of Phil Hawes and Warlley Alves. He ate a right hand from Whittaker that left him hobbled before getting finished off in overwhelming and brutal fashion. This was a tough spot for Aliskerov, and the result by no means suggests he won't be able to make a future impact at 185 pounds, but it does show he's not quite ready for guys at the top of the food chain early in his run with the company. He'll be back.

Out Saturday, in UFC Saudi Arabia
Aliskerov has withdrawn from his scheduled matchup against Antonio Trocoli at UFC Vegas 93 on Saturday. He will fight Robert Whittaker in a middleweight bout at UFC Saudi Arabia on June 22, MMAJunkie reports.
ANALYSIS
Whittaker and Khamzat Chimaev were scheduled to headline the UFC's June 22 event, the promotion's first in Saudi Arabia. The arrangement was until recently, when it became public knowledge that Chimaev would be too ill to be ready by then. Rather than setting up a new headliner, the UFC's upper brass seemingly opened itself up to fighters willing to find Whittaker on short notice. The 31-year-old Russian stepping up means his scheduled bout against Trocoli is canceled. Instead of fighting a potential newcomer, Aliskerov is now fighting a former UFC Middleweight Champion still top-three in the promotion's contender rankings for that division.
