Saturday’s UFC on ABC 6 main event, from the Kingdom Arena in Riyadh, sees perennial middleweight Robert Whittaker’s return. He faces exciting new opposition in Ikram Aliskerov as the event headliner. ‘The Reaper’ is infamous for his hellfire pacing even in five-round affairs. Yet, Aliskerov has the striking capability to match strike for strike. Nevertheless, it may not be enough. So says Chael Sonnen, who hedges his bets around Whittaker.

Robert Whittaker has ruled out an imminent fight with Khamzat Chimaev. ‘The Reaper’ is very much in the title conversation at middleweight and sits at #2 in the division following his unanimous decision win over Marvin Vettori in September. The Australian’s only losses at 185 lb have come against champion Israel Adesanya. ‘The Last Stylebender’ won the belt from the Sydney-sider when he knocked him out in Melbourne at UFC 243.

Remote oceanic islands are known for their high proportions of endemic species. Many of these possess characteristic island syndromes, such as animals with reduced or lost flight capacity and gigantism. This makes them particularly vulnerable to pressure from introduced, invasive species and elevates their extinction risk, making islands global hotspots of species extinction (totaling, e.g., close to 90% of all extinct birds in 3.5% of Earth’s area1).
