The ordering process for Ultimate Fighting Championship pay-per-views has changed: UFC 242 is only available on ESPN+ in the U.S.
Having completed the suspension for his part in a post-fight melee at UFC 229, Ultimate Fighting Championship lightweight titleholder Khabib Nurmagomedov on Saturday returned to action after an 11-month layoff to battle Dustin Poirier in the UFC 242 main event in Abu Dhabi, United Arab Emirates. The Dagestani destroyer dominated “The Diamond” on the ground with smothering top pressure and ground-and-pound, until the American Top Team product exposed his neck and Nurmagomedov locked in the fight-ending rear-naked choke in the third round.
