Take a look at the current card for UFC 254 in October.
One of the biggest fights in UFC lightweight history is set for October 24th. On that night, champion Khabib Nurmagomedov will put up his belt against arguably his toughest challenger to date, interim champion Justin Gaethje, in the main event of UFC 254.
The co-main event still hasn’t been decided upon as of yet, but UFC president Dana White indicated that it will “probably” be a very intriguing matchup between Tony Ferguson and Dustin Poirier. And the rest of the card is just as deep, with at least three more bouts that would normally headline smaller cards.
Here’s how the card looks right now, around eight weeks out. The location of the event has not been determined as of yet.
Khabib Nurmagomedov (c) vs. Justin Gaethje
Tony Ferguson vs. Dustin Poirier
Alexander Volkov vs. Walt Harris
Robert Whittaker vs. Jared Cannonier
Zabit Magomedsharipov vs. Yair Rodríguez
Rafael dos Anjos vs. Islam Makhachev
Cynthia Calvillo vs. Lauren Murphy
Umar Nurmagomedov vs. Sergey Morozov
Da Un Jung vs. Sam Alvey
