UFC 242 features an exciting card with a definitive headliner in the Lightweight title unification fight pitting interim champion Dustin Poirier against undefeated champ Khabib Nurmagomedov.
This is a rare afternoon start time (2pm ET for the main card, 10am ET for the prelims) because of the time difference in Abu Dhabi as the UFC travels to the capital of The United Arab Emirates. The crowd is almost certain to offer its full support to Nurmagomedov, whose fans travel in packs to see him fight.
UFC 242 also includes a lightweight fight between Edson Barboza and Paul Felder, which should be the afternoon’s most entertaining bout.
