On Saturday afternoon, Khabib Nurmagomedov will defend his UFC lightweight title against interim champion Justin Gaethje at UFC 254 in Abu Dhabi. The fight presents what many consider to be the most dangerous opponent for Khabib and as such, is one of the most anticipated bouts of the year. And it seems that anticipation is paying dividends for the UFC.
On Tuesday, UFC President Dana White revealed to TMZ Sports that, though it’s still early, UFC 254 is currently tracking to be the biggest event in the history of the sport.
