Khabib Nurmagomedov returns to the Octagon to defend his lightweight title against interim champ Dustin Poirier in the main event of UFC 242 in Abu Dhabi, United Arab Emirates on Saturday.
Nurmagomedov ends his 11-month absence, which included a nine-month suspension, after defeating Conor McGregor in a fourth-round submission at UFC 229 last October. The Russian received the suspension for jumping out of the Octagon after the fight and sparking a brawl.
Poirier became the interim titleholder after beating Max Holloway at UFC 236 in April.
