ABU DHABI – The UFC puts on one of the most anticipated title fights of the year on Saturday with Khabib Nurmagomedov and Dustin Poirier set to unify the lightweight title in the UFC 242 main event.
After 11 months away from the octagon, Nurmagomedov (27-0 MMA, 11-0 UFC) returns to competition against Poirier (25-5 MMA, 17-4 UFC), who earned his position by winning the interim 155-pound belt earlier this year.
