UFC 242 will go down on September 7th in Abu Dhabi, and now the official poster for the upcoming card’s been shared out.
As you can see below, the poster features lightweight champ Khabib Nurmagomedov and interim champ, Dustin Poirier, who will battle in the headliner. The latter locked up a bout with the undefeated champ, by winning the interim belt this past April, via decision win over Max Holloway.
Nurmagomedov, meanwhile, has yet to fight since he tapped out Conor McGregor last October.
