Dana White officially announced UFC Qatar this afternoon which will go down on November 22nd, the week after the promotion’s trip to Madison Square Garden. In the main event, top lightweight contender Arman Tsarukyan (22-3) will take on Dan Hooker (24-12).

This is the first time we will see either man fight in 2025. Starting with Tsarukyan, he was supposed to fight Islam Makhachev for the lightweight title back in January. However, he had to pull out of the fight the day of the weigh-ins and the promotion is making him re-earn his title shot.

Tsarukyan has won four fights in a row including a decision over Charles Oliveira and a knockout over Beneil Dariush. Now, he’ll take on the surging Dan Hooker.
