A female fighter has revealed the kit she must wear in Saudi Arabia's first-ever women's UFC bout.

The UFC made their Saudi Arabia debut last June when Robert Whittaker vs. Ikram Aliskerov, who replaced Khamzat Chimaev on short notice, headlined UFC on ABC 6.

The 11-fight card were all contested between male combatants, with the likes of Alexander Volkov, Sergei Pavlovich, Kelvin Gastelum and Sharabutdin Magomedov competing in the UFC event.

Saturday's UFC show will feature the promotion's first-ever women's bout in Saudi Arabia, with Jasmine Jasudavicius taking on Mayra Bueno Silva in a preliminary bout.

And ahead of stepping foot inside the famed Octagon, Bueno Silva took to social media to reveal the fight kit she must wear.

She shared a video of herself in a custom women's Venum fight kit specific to the country's regulations.

According to MMA journalist Aaron Bronsteter, Bueno Silva and her opponent Jasudavicius will be forced to wear this style of Venue uniform for their Saudi Arabia clash.

The UFC are following a different protocol to PFL, who made no alterations to Cris Cyborg and Larissa Pacheco's fight kits for their Saudi Arabia bout at PFL Super Fights: Battle of the Giants last October.

Bueno Silva, 33, enters the showdown having lost back-to-back fights to Raquel Pennington and Macy Chiasson.

The Brazilian hasn't won a UFC contest since February 2023 when she beat Lina Lansberg.

As for Jasudavicius, she's won three matches on the spin since dropping a decision to Tracy Cortez.

The Canadian has picked up wins over Priscila Cachoeira, Fatima Kline and Ariane da Silva.

The women's UFC flyweight bout is the third fight on the card.

A middleweight clash between top contenders Israel Adesanya and Nassourdine Imavov headlines UFC's second trip to Saudi Arabia.

Magomedov, who fought on the last Saudi Arabia card, faces Michael 'Venom' Page in the co-main event.
