UFC CEO Dana White announced the main and co-main events for the organization’s first trip to Qatar in November. Lightweight contenders Arman Tsarukyan and Dan Hooker top the bill in a bout that will play a major factor in the title picture at 155 pounds. In the co-main event, elite welterweights face off as former champion Belal Muhammad faces Ian Machado Garry.
Tsarukyan makes his first appearance of 2025, although he was scheduled to fight Islam Makhachev for the belt at UFC 311 in January.
