US EditionUFC Qatar: Arman Tsarukyan vs. Dan Hooker, Belal Muhammad vs. Ian Machado Garry headline November event
Arman Tsarukyan and Dan Hooker headline UFC Qatar, while Belal Muhammad faces Ian Machado Garry; Muhammad seeks to return to title contention, UFC said.
- Lightweights Arman Tsarukyan and Dan Hooker will headline UFC's trip to Qatar on Nov. 22 at the ABHA Arena, Dana White announced.
- Arman Tsarukyan must now re-earn a title shot after withdrawing from UFC 311 earlier this year due to a back injury, while Dan Hooker is on a perfect 3-0 run since returning to lightweight.
- In the co-main, Belal Muhammad, 24-4, returns after losing UFC 315 to face Irish contender Ian Machado Garry, 16-1, who is coming off a win over Carlos Prates.
- The outcomes could directly affect lightweight and welterweight pecking orders, as a Tsarukyan win would solidify his path to a title shot against Ilia Topuria but requires at least one more victory, while Muhammad aims to re-establish title credentials in a busy UFC welterweight division.
- The card marks UFC's debut in Qatar after a July deal, and heated trash talk between Dan Hooker and Arman Tsarukyan has intensified fan interest ahead of the fight.
