“I’ve always said we’re going to take UFC all over the world—and Qatar is the next stop,” UFC CEO Dana White said in a release. “They already hosted the World Cup and Formula 1, and now we’re bringing a UFC Fight Night there for the first time. Our fights in the Middle East are always incredible so I can’t wait to get out there.”
No fights were announced for UFC Qatar. The Octagon was initially expected to head to the Middle Eastern country on May 17, but that ultimately became a Fight Night event at the UFC Apex in Las Vegas.
Qatar Eager to Welcome UFC Community
“This collaboration marks a significant step that reflects our continued commitment to positioning Qatar as a leading global destination for major sporting events, “ CEO of Visit Qatar Eng. Abdulaziz Ali Al-Mawlawi said in the release. “The event forms part of a vibrant season of major activities, supported by ongoing infrastructure development and notable growth in the events and conferences sector. The inclusion of UFC, with its fanbase of over 700 million worldwide, underscores this strategic direction and offers a unique platform to showcase Qatar’s sporting excellence and cultural richness.
“We look forward to welcoming the UFC community and visitors from all around the world to Doha this November for an exceptional experience that highlights our capabilities and strengthens our international partnerships.”
