UFC Austin Live Results: Beneil Dariush vs Arman Tsarukyan
The Ultimate Fighting Championship returns to us today, December 2, 2023, for UFC on ESPN 52, going down live from the Moody Center in Austin, Texas.
Headlining the UFC Austin event is a bout of lightweight contenders showcasing no. 4 ranked Beneil Dariush and no. 8 ranked Arman Tsarukyan.
Co-headlining is also a lightweight encounter, this one coming between no. 12 ranked Jalin Turner and no. 13 ranked Bobby Green. Green was initially slated to face no. 9 ranked Dan Hooker tonight, and it was to be the first ever co-main non-title bout to be scheduled for five rounds in UFC history.
However, Hooker withdrew from the contest due to an arm injury and was replaced by his most recent opponent, the man that broke that very arm, Jalin Turner, in a three-round affair.
Our feature fight of the evening came in the bantamweight division where former two-time flyweight champion Deiveson Figueiredo moved up to 135 lbs for the very first time to face no. 8 ranked Rob Font.
All of that plus nine others, including the return of former Strikeforce and UFC bantamweight champion Miesha Tate, who headlines the preliminary card.
