Tsarukyan vs Hooker is set for November 22, 2025, at the ABHA Arena in Doha, Qatar, with prelims starting at 8:30 PM and the main card at 11:30 PM. This marks the UFC’s first event in Qatar and the promotion’s third country in the Middle East after the UAE and Saudi Arabia. The debut was first rumored for May at the Burns vs Morales card, but that show was moved to the UFC Apex without explanation.
The main event is planned to feature Arman Tsarukyan against Dan Hooker in a lightweight matchup. A heavyweight fight between Serghei Spivac and Shamil Gaziev is also booked after being rescheduled multiple times, as Gaziev previously withdrew with a broken finger during training.
The prelims include Bogdan Grad vs Luke Riley, Nicolas Dalby vs Saygid Izagakhmaev, and Alex Perez vs Asu Almabayev, with Perez averaging 4.19 strikes per minute and Almabayev producing 4.66 takedowns and 1.49 submissions per fight.
