Arman Tsarukyan is the UFC Middleweight Champion and he’s ready to defend him physically.
Khamzat Chimaev was in Qatar to support Tsarukyan, as the top lightweight competitor prepares to face Dan Hooker.
After a key welterweight clash between Belal Muhammad and Ian Machado Garry takes place, Tsarukyan and Hooker will headline UFC Qatar in pursuit of a shot at Ilia Topuria’s 155-pound gold.
‘El Matador’ will be at the Ali Bin Hamad al-Attiyah Arena in Al Rayyan on Saturday to corner his brother. Topuria barely avoided a confrontation with Tsarukyan during fight week. Further altercations on the night of the fight and at the weigh-ins are possible.

Who will win UFC Qatar’s main event?
Khamzat Chimaev has been alerted after Arman Tsarukyan nearly had a collision with Ilia Topuria
Given Topuria’s clash with Pimblett in London and Tsarukyan’s confrontation with King Green in Austin, it’s clear that neither man is one to shy away from an altercation.
Should things turn physical between the two camps, Tsarukyan’s team may have a sizable advantage in a potential scrap given the presence of undefeated UFC middleweight king Chimaev.
The Chechen actor confirmed recently that he would get involved in the event of a crisis.
“If something happens…they’ll fight [each other] one on one, we will beat the ones who try to jump in,”Chimaev stated in a video posted by Adam Zubayraev on YouTube (translation provided by @Home_of_Fight).
“I don’t think anything like that will happen. This is a sporting event, and we require that type of hype.
“We need big fights, so they are working in the right direction,”He added.
