UFC 242, headlined by a lightweight unification bout between Khabib Nurmagomedov and interim champion Dustin Poirier, offers an exciting night of fights as the UFC makes its return back to Abu. Since UFC 242 is airing live from Abu Dhabi, the start time will be vastly different from past UFC events. The action officially begins at 10:00 a.m. ET with early preliminary bouts airing on.

The UFC 254 air time won't be normal no matter where you are

The highly anticipated UFC 254, featuring the lightweight championship unification clash between Khabib Nurmagomedov and Justin Gaethje, is just days away. But no matter where you reside when the card goes down, be prepared for the special start times it brings.

This will be the third title defense for Nurmagomedov, who is the No. 2 men's pound-for-pound fighter in the UFC and holds the longest active undefeated streak in MMA at 28-0. He originally claimed the title by defeating Al Iaquinta at UFC 223 before going on to retain against Conor McGregor at UFC 229 and Dustin Poirier at UFC 242.

In his short time with the UFC so far, Gaethje has racked up five Fight of the Night bonuses and four performance bonuses. After a highly successful debut against Michael Johnson, Gaethje lost his undefeated MMA record in wars with Eddie Alvarez and Poirier, but he has since won four straight. This current streak has seen him score first-round finishes of James Vick, Edson Barboza and Donald 'Cowboy' Cerrone en route to finishing Tony Ferguson in five rounds to claim the interim lightweight title at UFC 249 in May.
