Taking main event honors, perennial lightweight contender, Beneil Dariush returns to the Octagon for the first time since June, taking on Armenian grappler, Armen Tsarukyan over the course of five rounds.
Sidelined since co-headlining UFC 289 in Canada earlier this summer, Kings MMA staple, Dariush saw his stunning eight-fight winning streak come to an end in the form of a first round ground strikes TKO loss to former undisputed champion, Charles Oliveira.
As for Tsarukyan, the highly-touted lightweight contender, who holds the number eight rank in the division, has landed two consecutive wins recently, defeating both Damir Ismagulov, and then stopping Joaquim Silva with strikes back in June to boot.
Remaining on the card following the removal of his opponent, Dan Hooker through a fractured arm injury, perennial contender, Bobby Green makes a co-main event return, taking on short-notice replacement, Jalin Turner at UFC Austin.
Last time out, Green, who submitted former interim champion, Tony Ferguson back in July, stopped the surging, Grant Dawson with a 33-second KO at UFC Vegas 80 in October.
