Khabib Nurmagomedov will take centre stage at UFC 254 as he goes head-to-head with Justin Gaethje in the most eagerly-anticipated bout of the year.
The Russian superstar has only fought once since his 2018 KO against Conor McGregor, but he comfortably dispatched Dustin Poirier at UFC 242 during his most recent outing in September 2019.
There will be plenty of intrigue going into this one as Khabib seeks to defend his UFC Lightweight championship against a rising star.
Gaethje stepped in to replace Khabib at UFC 249 on short notice, but his impressive victory over Tony Ferguson has now led to a clash between the pair.
The 31-year-old is the Interim Lightweight champion but will hope to unify the title later this year.
