UFC 242 is going down in less than three weeks time, and recently the promotion shared out a promo for the card’s headliner, which is of the must-see variety.
In the headliner, lightweight champ Khabib Nurmagomedov will battle interim champ, Dustin Poirier. If you follow MMA, you know that in Khabib, you have an undefeated fighter who is one of the greatest grapplers the game has ever seen. He’s also coming off a submission win over Conor McGregor, in what was one of the biggest bouts in combat sports history.
Poirier hasn’t reached the level of fame that Khabib has just yet, but “The Diamond” has been on a compelling roll, which includes wins over former champ Eddie Alvarez, former champ Anthony Pettis, former WSOF champ Justin Gaethje, and current featherweight king, Max Holloway.
You can check out the “There Can be Only One” trailer below.
Not too shabby right? Here is the line-up to date for the September 7th card, which will take place in Abu Dhabi (via MMA Mania).
