Khabib Nurmagomedov fulfilled the forecasts in Abu Dhabi, where he defeated Dustin Poirier to unify his UFC 242 lightweight title. The Dagestan Eagle imposed his blows from the start and ended the interim champion in the third round, so which extends its formidable unbeaten record to 28 wins in as many battles.
The return of the Russian, unpublished since the fight against Conor McGregor last October, confirmed his status as the most dominant fighter of the moment. After serving the penalty after that blushing brawl in Las Vegas, Khabib seemed spurred by the more than 17,000 fans that packed The Arena.
"I thank God, because I don't understand why so many good things happen to me," said the winner before thanking the help of his entire team. The epilogue of the evening was totally antagonistic to that of the aforementioned fight against The Notorious , given that Nurmagomedov posed with a shirt of his adversary and announced that he would auction it to raise funds for a charity.
On the horizon of the Russian, 30, now a fight against Tony Ferguson is emerging. The American, winner of 25 of his previous 28 fights, seems the best prepared candidate for the assault on the throne.
