Duel Khabib vs Poirier will be held at the Yas Island arena, Abu Dhabi United Arab Emirates on Saturday (7/9) evening local time. In the fight, Khabib will receive a payment of US $ 6 million or equivalent to Rp84 billion.
While his opponent Poirier, who had his last fight on April 13, 2019, won the top number for Max Halloway and became a temporary UFC champion (70 kg). Poirier felt confident that he could steal the victory from Khabib.
Nurmagomedov, on the other hand, has not competed for 11 months, since he was suspended for fighting after the Conor McGregor fight in Las Vegas, October 6, 2018. Nurmagomedov received a nine-month ban and a $ 500,000 fine (around $ 7.1 billion). Rupiah)) The NSAC fine was given because Khabib Nurmagomedov was involved in riots that broke out right after the fight ended.
Khabib, a warrior nicknamed The Eagle was very disappointed with the sentence and no longer wanted to fight in Las Vegas, which incidentally is under the auspices of the NSAC.
