The consensus is that the Khabib Nurmagomedov versus Justin Gaethje led, UFC 254 card is going to be pretty, pretty successful. But, that hasn’t stopped the UFC from pulling out all the promotional stops.

A second, official trailer

Case in point, just a few days out from the October 24th event, the UFC has released a new trailer for the card’s championship fight.

That’s quite the promo right? You can check out the pay-per-view cold opener here.

Gaethje secured a bout with the lightweight champ by stopping Tony Ferguson this past May and winning the interim belt. The wins was Gaethje’s (22-2) four straight, and all four of his wins during that run have been via stoppage. 

The undefeated Nurmagomedov (28-0), meanwhile, hasn’t fought since last September, when he submitted Dustin Poirier.
