UFC Fight Night 265 video: The final nine from its debut in Qatar

For the fourth consecutive event, UFC had finals with all kinds of regularity. It was a good time for it: the promotion’s debut in the Middle Eastern country of Qatar.

The prelims began with back-to-back decisions, but then the pace picked up tremendously and nine of the next 12 fights had stoppages, making the competition for bonus money a tough call.

On the main card, Arman Tsarukyan (23-3 MMA, 10-2 UFC) fought for the first time since April 2024 and submitted Dan Hooker (24-13 MMA, 14-9 UFC) on the lightweight main card to stay in the title conversation. He was up for a title shot earlier this year, but was injured during his weight cut and withdrew the day before the fight. Now he wants a title shot against new champion Ilia Topuria, the former featherweight champion.

Watch all the stoppages from UFC Fight Night 265 in the video above.
