UFC has determined the main event for the November tournament in Doha. Former champion Jiri Prochazka will face undefeated Navaho Stirling.
Jiri Prochazka returns to the main event of the UFC tournament.
On November 21 in Doha, the Czech will face Navaho Stirling., who has not yet suffered a defeat in his professional career. The bout has been officially announced as the main event of the evening.
Prochazka failed to regain the vacant title in the spring, losing to Carlos Ulberg by knockout. Sterling, on the other hand, put together a six-fight win streak in the UFC and in his last bout finished former champion Jan Blachowicz early.
For the New Zealander, a victory over the former champion could become a serious claim for a spot in the light heavyweight title race.
