We are just a few more days away from one of Ultimate Fighting Championship’s (UFC) biggest fights ever, as Lightweight champion, Khabib Nurmagomedov, and interim title holder, Justin Gaethje, collide in a title unification match at UFC 254 this Saturday (Oct. 24, 2020).
It’s a title fight that will feature one of the most dominant fighters ever looking to hold on to his title by attempting to take out perhaps the most violent fighter in the history of mixed martial arts (MMA). That’s the story line the promotion is running with in its latest promo video for the event.
The winner will become the unified champion and potentially set him up for another big fight, although different ones. For Khabib, a win will get him one step closer to his much-desired showdown against Georges St-Pierre, while Gaethje could lock down his long-awaited chance to take on Conor McGregor.
