Doha prepares to host the highly anticipated UFC Fight Night on Saturday, November 21 at the Ali Bin Hamad Al Attiyah Arena. The event, organized by UFC in collaboration with Visit Qatar, is set to feature former champions, ranked contenders and returning fighters. This marks the second visit of UFC to Qatar, joining the country's roster of major international sporting events.
UFC made its debut in Qatar in November 2025, selling out the ABHA Arena with over 8,000 fans from various GCC countries and beyond. The return event is set to draw established international fighters, along with several who participated in Doha last year, providing fans with another chance to witness world-class mixed martial arts.
The headline bout of the evening sees No. 2 ranked light heavyweight contender Jiří Procházka from the Czech Republic, going against undefeated No. 5 ranked Navajo Stirling from Auckland, New Zealand. Attendees familiar with UFC's inaugural event in Qatar will recognize several fighters. No. 13 ranked lightweight Dan Hooker, who headlined the first Doha event, faces two-time featherweight title challenger Brian Ortega, who has moved up to lightweight for the bout.
