\"UFCThe UFC is gearing up for its last event in Abu Dhabi on Yas Island on Saturday afternoon, and its headliners are expected to put on a performance that will have fans of the Ultimate Fighting Championship<\/a> on the edge of their seats. <\/p>\n

The main event will feature Khabib Nurmagomedov<\/strong> taking on Justin Gaethje<\/strong> in a featured heavyweight bout. As most will have expected, Saturday\u2019s fight was set to feature two of the UFC\u2019s most recognizable names. <\/p>\n

Nurmagomedov, AKA the “Eagle<\/em>” is favoured to win against Gaethje, who while a talented martial arts fighter is the underdog. <\/p>\n

Nurmagomedov has been at the top of his game during his most recent fights with wins against Dustin Poirier<\/strong> and Conor McGregor<\/strong>.<\/p>\n

Known for having superior wrestling skills, the “Eagle<\/em>” averaged over five takedowns for every 15 minutes in the octagon. Likewise, his endurance gives him a distinct advantage over Gaethje heading into Saturday\u2019s fight. This is going to be helpful while dealing with the heat conditions in Dubai.<\/p>\n

However, while we favour Nurmagomedov for the win, Gaethje is seen as one of those fighters that has spent much of his career under the radar. This is partly due to the length of time spent in the World Series of Fighting<\/a>. However, with a 17-0 win record, he is more than capable of putting together the right moves to earn the win.<\/p>\n
