UFC on ESPN: Dariush vs. Tsarukyan (also known as UFC on ESPN 52) was a mixed martial arts event produced by the Ultimate Fighting Championship that took place on December 2, 2023, at the Moody Center in Austin, Texas, United States.[2]

Background

The event marked the promotion's fifth visit to Austin and first since UFC on ESPN: Kattar vs. Emmett in June 2022.[2]

A lightweight bout between Beneil Dariush and Arman Tsarukyan headlined the event.[3]

A five round lightweight bout between Bobby Green and Dan Hooker was expected take place in the co-main event, which would have marked the sixth time a non-main event and non-title bout has been scheduled for five rounds.[3] However, the week before the event, Hooker withdrew due to a broken arm and was replaced by Jalin Turner in a three round bout.[4][5][6]

A middleweight bout between former UFC Middleweight Championship challenger Jared Cannonier and Roman Dolidze was expected to take place at the event.[7] However, Cannonier suffered a MCL tear in October during training and the bout was cancelled.[8][9]

A light heavyweight bout between Azamat Murzakanov and Khalil Rountree Jr. was expected to take place at the event.[10] However, Murzakanov was diagnosed with pneumonia and pulled from the event. Rountree was instead matched up with former UFC Light Heavyweight Championship challenger Anthony Smith at UFC Fight Night: Song vs. Gutiérrez a week later.[11]

A featherweight bout between Steve Garcia and Melquizael Costa was expected to take place at the event.[12] However, the bout was scrapped when Garcia withdrew the day before due to illness.[13] The bout was rescheduled for UFC Fight Night: Song vs. Gutiérrez a week later.[14]
