Khabib Nurmagomedov is expecting to seal his legacy when he takes on Dustin Poirier at UFC 242 in Abu Dhabi.
The lightweight champion returns to the Octagon on September 7 for the first time since his victory over Conor McGregor last year, but faces a tough challenge against the interim title holder.
Khabib says that he's relishing the chance to fight in the UAE capital and that the clash with Poirier is a big night for his MMA legacy as he aims to extend his undefeated streak, which currently stands at 27-0.
However, Poirier, who ended Max Holloway's 13-fight win streak in April to claim the interim belt, warned that he's ready to shock the world and make history by inflicting Khabib's first UFC defeat.
