UFC Doha: Jiří Procházka faces unbeaten Navajo Stirling as full fight card takes shape

The UFC returns to Doha, Qatar, on Saturday, November 21, with former light heavyweight champion Jiří Procházka taking on undefeated contender Navajo Stirling in a five-round main event.

The event takes place at the Ali Bin Hamad Al Attiyah Arena, also known as ABHA Arena, with tickets now on sale through Visit Qatar's official ticketing platform.

It marks the UFC's second visit to Qatar following its debut in the country last November.

Procházka (32-6-1) returns to the Octagon for the first time since suffering a first-round knockout defeat to Carlos Ulberg in their light heavyweight title fight in April.

The former champion, currently ranked No. 2 in the division, will be looking to return to winning ways and strengthen his position in the title picture.

Standing in his way is New Zealand's Navajo Stirling (11-0), who has enjoyed an impressive rise since earning his UFC contract through Dana White's Contender Series in 2024.

The 28-year-old is unbeaten in six UFC appearances and has stopped all three of his opponents in 2026, including former champion Jan Błachowicz in August.

Now ranked No. 5 at light heavyweight, Stirling has the opportunity to secure the biggest victory of his career against one of the division's most recognisable names.

Former UFC bantamweight champion Aljamain Sterling returns to featherweight competition in the co-main event against Argentina's Kevin Vallejos.

Sterling (26-5) has won three of his four fights since moving to 145lbs, while Vallejos (18-1) enters the contest on a seven-fight winning streak.

Elsewhere, Dan Hooker faces former featherweight title challenger Brian Ortega in an intriguing lightweight contest.

Hooker will be looking to recover from his recent defeat to Salahdine Parnasse at UFC Paris, while Ortega moves up to the lightweight division.

The card also features a flyweight contest between Asu Almabayev and former RIZIN champion Kyoji Horiguchi, alongside a middleweight meeting between Jared Cannonier and Ikram Aliskerov.
