UFC Qatar features Aljamain Sterling, Brian Ortega, Kyoji
\nHoriguchi and more<\/h2>\n

Prochazka will look to rebound from his loss to Carlos
\nUlberg<\/a> in April. The former 205-pound champion needs a victory
\nto work his way back into title contention but faces a stiff test
\nagainst an undefeated Stirling.<\/p>\n

The Kiwi has quickly ascended the UFC light heavyweight rankings.
\nThe
\nCity Kickboxing<\/a> fighter improved to 11-0 with a first-round
\nstoppage of former champion Jan
\nBlachowicz<\/a> in August. The victory also marked Stirling’s sixth
\nUFC win and his third in 2026.<\/p>\n

Former bantamweight champion Aljamain
\nSterling<\/a> will also compete in Doha, where he\u2019ll look to
\nstrengthen his case for a featherweight title shot against
\nArgentina\u2019s Kevin
\nVallejos<\/a>. Elsewhere on the card, pivotal fights in the
\nflyweight division pit Asu
\nAlmabayev<\/a> against Kyoji
\nHoriguchi<\/a> and Amir Albazi<\/a>
\nagainst Alessandro
\nCosta<\/a>.<\/p>\n

Former featherweight title challenger Brian
\nOrtega<\/a> was scheduled to fight at UFC
\n331<\/a> but withdrew after sustaining a cut above his eye one week
\nbefore the numbered event in Los Angeles. \u201cT-City\u201d takes on
\nlightweight veteran Dan
\nHooker<\/a>.<\/p>\n

Former two-division champion Ilia
\nTopuria<\/a>‘s brother, Aleksandre
\nTopuria<\/a>, also returns to action at UFC Qatar against Santiago
\nLuna<\/a>.<\/p>\n

The UFC Qatar lineup is as follows, as of Sept. 29:<\/p>\n
