The UFC heads to Doha, Qatar for the first time today (November 22) for a UFC Fight Night card headlined by a massive lightweight matchup.
The main event will see Arman Tsarukyan try to fight his way back to a title shot after pulling out of a rematch with Islam Makhachev when he meets fan favorite Dan Hooker. Currently sitting at #6 in the UFC lightweight rankings, Hooker is riding the momentum of three-straight victories.
The co-main event for UFC Qatar also features some major stakes for the welterweight division, as former titleholder Belal Muhammad returns for the first time since losing his belt to take on #6-ranked contender Ian Machado Garry.

The prelims boast plenty of standout matchups and are highlighted by several high-profile debuts, including in the card’s featured prelim when former Cage Warriors star Luke Riley steps into the Octagon for the first time to face Bogdan Grad.
The only fight week change to UFC Qatar was when Serghei Spivac withdrew from his matchup with Gaziev and was replaced by Cortes-Acosta, as all fighters scheduled to compete made weight for their respective bouts ahead of the event.
