Building on the 2025 Doha Debut
The 2026 event follows the promotion’s inaugural Middle East card, UFC Fight Night: Tsarukyan vs. Hooker, which took place in November 2025. That landmark card featured Arman Tsarukyan securing a submission victory over Dan Hooker to reinforce his standing in the lightweight division. In the co-feature, Ian Machado Garry picked up a victory over Belal Muhammad, setting a high competitive standard for the promotion’s future ventures into the territory.
