The Ali Bin Hamad Al-Attiyah Arena in Doha is the setting for the UFC's first venture to Qatar today.
The event is set to be headlined by an exciting matchup between the lightweight division's no. 1-ranked contender Arman Tsarukyan (22-3 MMA, 9-2 UFC) and fan favorite Dan Hooker 24-12 MMA, 14-8 UFC), with a strong chance that the winner may find themselves in the mix to face Ilia Topuria for a shot at championship gold in 2026.
The co-main event could also produce a title challenger at 170 pounds, as former titleholder Belal Muhammad 24-4 MMA, 15-4 UFC) looks to return to the win column after surrendering his belt to Jack Della Maddalena in his last outing. "Remember the Name" faces Irish star Ian Machado Garry (16-1 MMA, 9-1 UFC).
