UFC 254 will feature a larger-than-average pay-per-view
lineup.
The promotion revealed on Saturday that main card for the Oct. 24
event will feature six bouts; usually UFC pay-per-views consist of
five fights. The last pay-per-view to have a six-bout main draw was
UFC 190, which took place on Aug. 1, 2015 at HSBC Arena in Rio de
Janeiro, Brazil, and was headlined by a women’s bantamweight
championship clash between Ronda
Rousey and Bethe
Correia.
UFC 254 takes place at the Flash Forum on Yas Island in Abu Dhabi
and is topped by a lightweight title unification bout pitting
reigning champion Khabib
Nurmagomedov against interim king Justin
Gaethje.
The rest of the pay-per-view lineup is as follows: Robert
Whittaker vs. Jared
Cannonier at middleweight; Alexander
Volkov vs. Walt Harris
at heavyweight; Islam
Makhachev vs. Rafael dos
Anjos at lightweight; Cynthia
Calvillo vs. Lauren
Murphy at flyweight and Magomed
Ankalaev vs. Ion
Cutelaba at light heavyweight.
The card could have been even more impressive, as a lightweight
matchup between Dustin
Poirier and Tony
Ferguson was targeted for UFC 254 before negotiations fell
through.
