Khabib Nurmagomedov looks to continue his dominant, undefeated ways, while his opponent, Dustin Poirier, attempts to create a massive upset with a knockout victory.
Nurmagomedov and Poirier meet in today’s UFC 242 main event in the heat of Abu Dhabi for a Lightweight title unification fight.
Poirier (25-5-1) became the interim champ with a resounding victory over Max Holloway this past April at UFC 236. Despite the significance of that win, he has never grappled with an opponent quite like Nurmagomedov (27-0).
Can Poirier knock out Nurmagomedov? His opportunity to make history will come down to a few factors.
