UFC Announces Return to Qatar for November 21 Card Headlined by Prochazka vs. Stirling

The UFC has officially announced its return to Qatar, with a fight card scheduled for Saturday, November 21, 2026, at the ABHA Arena in Doha. The event, which will be broadcast on Paramount+, features a marquee light heavyweight matchup between former 205-pound champion Jiri Prochazka and undefeated prospect Navajo Stirling.

Prochazka, known for his high-paced, aggressive style, looks to regain momentum in the division against the rising Stirling. The pairing represents a significant test for the undefeated newcomer, who faces the most experienced opponent of his career in the former titleholder.

In addition to the light heavyweight headliner, the promotion confirmed several other bouts for the November event. Notable matchups include Sterling vs. Vallejos and a clash between Dan Hooker and Brian Ortega. These additions bolster a card that marks a strategic stop in the region for the organization as it expands its international schedule for the end of the year.

The inclusion of high-profile names like Prochazka, Hooker, and Ortega suggests a stacked lineup for the Doha crowd. Fans and fantasy players should monitor this event closely, as the matchup between the veteran Prochazka and the unbeaten Stirling is expected to have significant implications for the divisional rankings heading into 2027.
