The UFC makes its debut in Doha, Qatar this Saturday with a solid main card headlined by lightweights Arman Tsarukyan and Dan “The Hangman” Hooker.
UFC Qatar also sees a key welterweight fight in the co-main event slot, as Ian Machado Garry faces off against ex-champ and number one ranked Belal Muhammad.
Both fights carry possible title implications with them, though only Tsarukyan vs. Hooker has been called a number one contender’s fight. Of course, such designations, even when labelled by the UFC’s higher ups, never seem to be set in stone.
Stepping in on short notice at UFC Qatar is Waldo Cortes-Acosta, replacing Serghei Spivac with all of three day’s notice.
Weigh-ins for UFC Qatar take place on Friday morning local time. Results can be found below.
