UFC 254 date and time
UFC 254 began at 11 a.m. ET (Saturday, Oct. 24),
The main card begins at 2 p.m. ET.
The event is live from UFC Fight Island in Abu Dhabi.
Khabib’s been the unstoppable force in the sport of MMA, and he’s already talking retirement. Yes, at 28-0, the champ just wants two more wins, so a victory tomorrow will have him within spitting distance of going out at 30-0. It’s not exactly that easy, though.
Gaethje may not be undefeated, but he won’t be a pushover. His 22-2 record is strong right now, following an amazing performance with a fifth-round TKO of Tony Ferguson, where he captured that interim lightweight championship. Oh, and of his 22 wins? 19 were by knockout.
Khabib also has an emotional story at hand, as his corner will not include his father and coach, Abdulmanap Nurmagomedov. Sadly, he died earlier this year after COVID-19-related complications.

The much anticipated UFC lightweight title unification bout between champion Khabib Nurmagomedov and interim champ Justin Gaethje takes place Saturday at Fight Island in Abu Dhabi. The fight serves as the main event of the ESPN+ pay-per-view streaming fight card.
Nurmagomedov captured the vacant lightweight crown in April 2018 when he defeated Al Iaquinta by decision. Iaquinta was a last-minute replacement for Tony Ferguson. Nurmagomedov’s first defense of his title took place in October 2018. Nurmagomedov submitted former champion Conor McGregor by neck crank in the fourth round of that contest. After the win, the lightweight kingpin jumped into the crowd to confront one of McGregor’s coaches. While that happened on the floor of the T-Mobile Arena, McGregor engaged with a couple of Nurmagomedov’s teammates inside the cage. The Nevada State Athletic Commission handed both fighters suspensions. When Nurmagomedov returned to action, he defeated Dustin Poirier by third-round submission. That fight took place in September 2019. Nurmagomedov has a career record of 28-0.
Gaethje was the long-time World Series of Fighting lightweight champion before he signed with the UFC in 2017. Gaethje was 17-0. He went 1-2 in his first three fights with the UFC, but he has been unbeaten since August 2018. Gaethje captured the interim 155-title in May with a fifth-round TKO win over Tony Ferguson.
All seven of Gaethje’s UFC fights have ended via knockout. He has won at least one fight-night bonus in each of those outings.
