The Ultimate Fighting Championship’s final 2023 card broadcast fully on “The Mothership” ended up being one of the promotion’s best of any variety. This was not only due to a much higher caliber of matchups but also the furious action of the fights themselves, with many sudden, sensational finishes.
In the UFC on ESPN 52 main event, elite lightweight contenders collided when Beneil Dariush faced Arman Tsarukyan. Since a surprising loss to Mateusz Gamrot in 2022, Tsarukyan had bounced back with emphatic wins over Damir Ismagulov and Joaquim Silva.
