With the UFC Qatar early (and official) weigh ins already in the books (get complete results and updates here), the promotion will trot all 28 fighters back onto the stage for the ceremonial festivities, taking place LIVE at 10 a.m. ET today (Fri., Nov. 21, 2025) in the embedded video above from inside ABHA Arena in Doha, Qatar.
That’s the same venue that hosts the “Arman vs. Hooker”-led MMA event tomorrow (Sat., Nov. 22, 2025) on ESPN+, featuring the lightweight showdown between ranked lightweight contenders Arman Tsarukyan vs. Dan Hooker. In addition, former welterweight roost-ruler, Belal Muhammad, fights No. 6-ranked Ian Garry in the co-main event.
“The door is wide open,” Hooker told UFC.com. “It’s exciting. The boss said this is a No. 1 contender fight and that’s why I chased down Arman, because I know that you get past him, you get him out of the way, you’re looking down the barrel of a title shot.”
“If you’re gonna fight anyone, you might as well fight the best guy you can possibly get your hands on,” Hooker continued. “I feel like I rise to the occasion when I fight someone that is super-talented; that puts the pressure on me and brings out the best in my skill and abilities, and that’s why I look for the harder fights.”
