Ultimate Fighting Championship (UFC) is just over 24 hours away from the upcoming UFC Austin mixed martial arts (MMA) event, which is set to go down tomorrow night (Sat., Dec. 2, 2023) on ESPN and ESPN+ from inside Moody Center in Austin, Texas, featuring a lightweight main event between Top 10 title hopefuls Beneil Dariush and Arman Tsarukyan, a five-round headliner with serious title implications for early 2024 and beyond.
Before the ESPN/ESPN+ live stream gets underway this weekend in “The Lone Star State,” which also includes the lightweight showdown between “King” Bobby Green and Jalin “The Tarantula” Turner, who is a late replacement for the injured Dan Hooker, all 26 fighters must hit the scale to prove themselves worthy. Note: Texas Athletic Commission affords a one-pound allowance in non-title fights.
