The title unification bout headlining UFC 242 is now official after Khabib Nurmagomedov and Dustin Poirier made weight on Friday morning in Abu Dhabi.
As soon as the official weigh-ins started, Nurmagomedov was the first fighter to step onto the scale as he hit the mark at exactly 155 pounds.
In the past, the undefeated Dagestani champion has struggled with making the lightweight limit including a fight against Tony Ferguson at UFC 209 that was cancelled after he ended up in the hospital after suffering through a brutal weight cut.
