UFC Qatar fight week is here. Counting Saturday morning and afternoon’s card (USA time,) there are only three shows left on the 2025 promotional schedule between now and the time the first quarter of this century ends on Dec. 31.
This week, Dana White’s organization makes its first-ever visit to the nation of Qatar, which is no stranger to hosting marquee sporting events. Three years ago, the FIFA World Cup was held in Qatar, ultimately won by Lionel Messi and Argentina on penalty kicks, 4-2 in the final after regular and extra time failed to produce a champion, finishing level at full time, 3-3.
