Surprisingly, former middleweight champion Robert Whittaker lost to Khamzat Chimaev just days before the UFC Saudi Arabia main event, but he then accepted a fight against highly touted prospect Ikram Aliskerov. Whittaker displayed the skill disparity by clipping Aliskerov with a stiff left during an early exchange, leading to a swift finish just seconds later.

With Aliskerov reeling, Whittaker advanced with a blistering combination, including a vicious uppercut that sent his opponent crashing to the canvas. He followed up with a few more punches before referee Marc Goddard intervened to save Aliskerov from further harm. The official stoppage occurred at just 1:49 in the opening round.
