The UFC continues to break new terrain while they want to grow the product with blockbuster events all over the world.
On 28 June, the UFC organized a huge international fighting week by the incredible UFC 317 card in which Ilia Topuria awarded the new UFC Lightweight Champion.
And now only a few weeks away from the monumental event, the promotion has announced a huge new 'strategic partnership' with Visit Qatar, which will see the UFC country in Qatar for the first time.
On November 22, the UFC is organizing a Fight Night event from the ABHA Arena in Doha, with the map that is yet to be announced.

UFC to host the very first event ever in Qatar
In recent years, the Midden -East has become an extremely popular destination for the UFC to organize events, and in 2020 Fight Island allowed the sport to continue.
Last June the UFC organized their very first event ever in the Kingdom of Saudi Aarabia, which was led by a fight between Robert Whittaker and Ikram Aliskerov.

UFC boss Dana White recently spoke with reporters in New York City, said: “We have long been in Abu Dhabi and we are starting to move. Qatar is something we have worked on for a few years now, and we have finally done something.
“The UFC is a staple in Abu Dhabi for a long time and I think they looked at Abu Dhabi and have seen the success that they had had and then Saudi (Arabia) and Azerbaijan. I want to go to Qatar for a long time and I look forward to it for a long time and I look forward to it,” White went further, “” “”
Fans respond when they choose their ideal main event for UFC Doha
Although it will only be a Fight Night card, because it is the first of the promotion in Qatar, they will probably want to start their partnership if they want to continue.
And with that UFC fans predict which hunters can be in the main event of the historical map.
“Maybe Umar (Nurmagomedov) vs (Petr) Yan,” a fan suggested.
“Umar (Nurmagomedov) vs Suga (Sean O'Malley),” said another fan.
“Belal (Muhammad) vs (Kamaru) Usman,” a third fan responded.
