UFC Qatar features Aljamain Sterling, Brian Ortega, Kyoji
Horiguchi and more

Prochazka will look to rebound from his loss to Carlos
Ulberg in April. The former 205-pound champion needs a victory
to work his way back into title contention but faces a stiff test
against an undefeated Stirling.

The Kiwi has quickly ascended the UFC light heavyweight rankings.
The
City Kickboxing fighter improved to 11-0 with a first-round
stoppage of former champion Jan
Blachowicz in August. The victory also marked Stirling’s sixth
UFC win and his third in 2026.

Former bantamweight champion Aljamain
Sterling will also compete in Doha, where he’ll look to
strengthen his case for a featherweight title shot against
Argentina’s Kevin
Vallejos. Elsewhere on the card, pivotal fights in the
flyweight division pit Asu
Almabayev against Kyoji
Horiguchi and Amir Albazi
against Alessandro
Costa.

Former featherweight title challenger Brian
Ortega was scheduled to fight at UFC
331 but withdrew after sustaining a cut above his eye one week
before the numbered event in Los Angeles. “T-City” takes on
lightweight veteran Dan
Hooker.

Former two-division champion Ilia
Topuria’s brother, Aleksandre
Topuria, also returns to action at UFC Qatar against Santiago
Luna.
