UFC 242 LIVE stream: How to watch Khabib vs Poirier on TV and online tonight

Khabib Nurmagomedov puts his lightweight title on the line against interim champion Dustin Poirier at UFC 242 tonight.

Nurmagomedov remains one of the most feared men in MMA, laying to waste each of his 27 professional opponents to establish himself as perhaps the best grappler in the business.

Poirier is out to become the first man to stop the Dagestan fighter, earning his shot at the champion after his unanimous decision victory over Max Holloway at UFC 236 in April in their interim title clash.

Here's how you can follow all the action tonight...
