The Octagon has touched down once again in Abu Dhabi for what is shaping up to be one of the biggest events of the year. UFC superstar and lightweight champion Khabib Nurmagomedov makes his much anticipated return against fan favorite and interim lightweight champion Dustin Poirier.
It's been nearly a full year since Nurmagomedov made Conor McGregor tap in Las Vegas. Since then his profile has only grown and fans cannot wait to see the fighter from Dagestan get back to mauling 155-lb challengers. But the man who will be standing across from him on Saturday is no push over.
