Video: Khabib Nurmagomedov, Dustin Poirier face off again ahead of UFC 242

LAS VEGAS – The undisputed UFC lightweight champion will be determined at the end of the summer when Khabib Nurmagomedov and Dustin Poirier collide for the belt at UFC 242.

The event takes place Sept. 7 at The Arena in Yas Island, Abu Dhabi. The main card airs on pay-per-view following prelims on ESPN and ESPN+/UFC Fight Pass.

Following Friday’s summer news conference in Las Vegas, Nurmagomedov (27-0 MMA, 11-0 UFC) and Poirier (25-5 MMA, 17-4 UFC) came face to face for the final time before heading overseas to share the octagon.
