UFC is headed international once again.

Khabib Nurmagomedov (28-0) and Justin Gaethje (22-2) will square off for the lightweight title in the main event at UFC 254 on Fight Island in Abu Dhabi on Saturday, Oct. 24.

The headliner will be a unification bout between the current lightweight champion, Nurmagomedov, and the current UFC interim lightweight champion, Gaethje. The undefeated Nurmagomedov was originally set to defend his title against Tony Ferguson at UFC 249, but COVID-19 restrictions kept him in his native Russia. Gaethje, an Arizona native, took his spot and beat Ferguson by TKO, setting up Saturday’s anticipated showdown.
