Staredowns! Dariush Shares Final Moment With Tsarukyan

It all goes down tomorrow night (Sat., Dec. 2, 2023) at UFC Austin live on ESPN/ESPN+ from inside Moody Center in Austin, Tex., as Beneil Dariush returns to action in a main event clash with fellow lightweight standout Arman Tsarukyan.

Adding to the mix will be a co-main event clash pitting lightweight veteran Bobby Green against short-notice replacement Jalin Turner. While this matchup is exciting in its own right, Green has attracted more interest this week after nearly brawling with Tsarukyan and his teammates at the fighter hotel (details HERE).

Luckily, the action doesn’t stop there. UFC Austin, which has stacked up to be one of the best free ESPN cards of the year, will also feature prominent matchups like Sean Brady vs. Kelvin Gastelum and Rob Font vs. Deiveson Figueiredo. Not to mention popular UFC fighters like Miesha Tate and Clay Guida.

On Friday, all fighters stepped on the scale for official weigh ins (replay HERE). They also came together for ceremonial weigh ins and one final chance at a staredown. Check out the final faceoffs below:
