In what's being touted as a historic event, Khabib Nurmagomedov will make a return to the Octagon after a nine-month suspension, to take on Dustin Poirier in UFC 242 in Abu Dhabi.
The fight is slated for September 7, and Nurmagomedov still remains undefeated.
He was banned after a brawl following his fight with Conor McGregor in October.
