The bout of mixed martial artists in lightweight - American Dustin Porrier and Russian Khabib Nurmagomedov - UFC 242 will be held on September 7 in Abu Dhabi, at the stadium du Arena.
Russian mixed martial arts fighter, UFC lightweight champion Khabib Nurmagomedov is looking forward to a fight in the capital of the United Arab Emirates, where he promises to stage a "very big show." “It will be a big, very important show. For me, the most important thing is that my father will be able to come and support me. All tickets have already been sold, it will be a good show, for me, for family, for the team. I really look forward to this show,” said Khabib Nurmagomedov.
Khabib Nurmagomedov, who often visits the United Arab Emirates, noted that “MMAs are very popular in the UAE. I understood this when I came here. I just couldn’t calmly walk along the streets. They take me in Dagestan about the same way. Considering the attitude to mixed martial arts, I don’t I’m surprised that the UFC decided to organize the tournament here. "
Khabib Nurmagomedov has not entered the octagon since October 2018, when he defeated Conor McGregor with a strangulation. Dustin Porrier won the interim lightweight championship belt in a duel with Max Holloway.
