Ultimate Fighting Championship later this year.
The 30-year weight is under negotiation Santiago Luna at UFC Qatar
21 Nov in Doha respectively Alvaro Colmenero.
Aleksandre Topuria is in talks to face Santiago Luna at UFC Qatar
Aleksandre (7-1) has not competed since the defeat Bekzat Almakhan by unanimous decision last November, marking his second UFC victory. He has not been active in recent years, focusing primarily on coaching his brother Ilia, a former featherweight and lightweight champion.
As Ilia recently lost the lightweight title Justin Gaethje at
UFC Freedom 250 and won’t be back until next year, Aleksandre will be looking to pick up his third Octagon win in November. His opponent, Luna (8-1), is 2-1 in the UFC and is coming off the only loss of his professional career. Bryce Mitchell last June.
The only other rumored battle at the event is a middleweight clash Ikram Aliskerov and former title challenger Jared Cannonier.
