UFC 242 Preview: Chris Weidman Breaks Down Khabib-Poirier Showdown

Saturday’s UFC 242 pay-per-view is a chance for the fighting world to catch another glimpse of the undefeated Khabib Nurmagomedov.

Nurmagomedov (27-0) has plowed through the competition en route to the UFC's lightweight title, and he looks to push his current winning streak to 12 on Saturday in the main event against interim champion Dustin Poirier in a title unification fight.

Poirier (25-5-1) presents a significant challenge for Nurmagomedov. He delivered the most impressive performance of his career this past April at UFC 236 when he defeated Max Holloway by unanimous decision to win the interim title.
