The UFC is making its debut in Qatar.<\/p>\n
Fresh off the heels of UFC 322, the world\u2019s leading MMA promotion follows up an exceptional Pay-Per-View event with a monster Fight Night card, traveling to the Ali Bin Hamad al-Attiyah Arena in Al Rayyan, Qatar, for the first time.

Lee preview Saturday\u2019s fight card, discussing the main event between Tsarukyan and Hooker, what\u2019s at stake, and whether Tsarukyan\u2019s faceoff headbutt changes things. Additionally, they break down the co-main event, Muhammad\u2019s curious pre-fight comments, Waldo-Cortes Acosta\u2019s last-minute heroics to save a fight, the return of Kyoji Horiguchi, answer listener questions, and much more.<\/p>\n
