UFC Fight Night: Is there a UFC card on Saturday, December 2, 2023?

The world's premier MMA promotion is headed to the Moody Center for UFC fight night in Austin, Texas. UFC Fight Night: Dariush vs. Tsarukyan (also known as UFC Austin) will take place on December 2, 2023, and will feature a series of thrilling matchups involving top contenders and plenty of notable fighters.

In the main event of UFC Austin, No.4 ranked lightweight contender Beneil Dariush will square off against the highly touted Arman Tsarukyan, who is ranked four spots below Dariush at No.8.

Beneil Dariush comes into this bout hoping to rebound from his first-round TKO defeat at the hands of Charles Oliveira at UFC 289 in June. He saw his eight-fight win streak getting snapped in his loss to the Brazilian and so, Dariush will look to get back into title contention with a win on Saturday.

Arman Tsarukyan, on the other hand, will look to pick up his fourth consecutive victory when he returns to the octagon this weekend. In his latest outing in June, he dispatched Joaquim Silva via third-round TKO.

Tsarukyan now has an opportunity to burst into the divisional top five and take another step towards lightweight gold with a statement-making performance.
