The UFC kicks off their final stretch of events in 2023 as the Octagon heads back to the Moody Center in Austin, Texas for UFC On ESPN 52: Dariush vs. Tsarukyan.
The main event features two top lightweights looking to get themselves one step closer to a title shot as fourth-ranked Beneil Dariush battles eighth-ranked Arman Tsarukyan. Dariush is looking to get back into the win column after suffering a loss to Charles Oliveira in June, which ended an eight-fight win streak. Tsarukyan comes into off of two straight wins, and victories in seven of his last eight bouts.
In the co-main event, it's another battle of ranked lightweights as Jalin Turner, on ten days' notice, takes on Bobby Green. Also on the main card is Rob Font welcoming former UFC Flyweight Champion Deiveson Figueiredo to the bantamweight division, Sean Brady battles former TUF winner Kelvin Gastelum as Gastelum moves back to 170 pounds, and long-time veteran Clay Guida battles Joaquim Silva.
