UFC 242 has finally arrived. Despite a lack of trash talk between a pair of the best lightweights in the world, Saturday’s main event between champion Khabib Nurmagomedov and challenger Dustin Poirier is sure to deliver. The two have been on a collision course ever since Poirier earned interim gold with a decision win over featherweight king Max Holloway in April.

The undefeated champion Nurmagomedov will look to add another name to his growing list of dismantled opponents. His current run includes victories over Edson Barboza, Al Iaquinta and, of course, Conor McGregor in 2018, which ended in one of the ugliest scenes in MMA history with both camps attacking each other post fight. Nurmagomedov was suspended nine months for starting the riot while McGregor received six months. Poirier, meanwhile, is on a stunning run of his own with wins over Holloway, Eddie Alvarez, Justin Gaethje and Anthony Pettis in his last four showings.

While the rest of the card may not be as deep as most U.S. based PPVs, the co-main event should be an absolute cracker. Edson Barboza meets up with Paul Felder in a rematch four years in the making. Barboza bested Felder by decision in 2015, but their careers have take opposite paths. Felder has won four of his last five while Barboza has dropped three of his last four. However, Barboza’s losses have all come against the elite of the 155-pound division.
