Pic! Official Khabib Vs. Poirier UFC 242 Scorecard

+

Reigning UFC lightweight champion Khabib Nurmagomedov looked more dominant than ever earlier today (Sat., Sept. 7, 2019) at UFC 242 live on ESPN+ PPV from inside The Arena on Yas Island in Abu Dhabi, when he battered interim titleholder Dustin Poirier before securing a third-round submission win (HIGHLIGHTS HERE). The undefeated Russian champion controlled "Diamond" from the opening bell with heavy takedowns, relentless ground-and-pound, and a variety of submission attempts before finding his way to a finish in Round 3. The dominance of Khabib not only showed on the disappointed face of Poirier post-fight but also on the judges' scorecards, which can be seen above courtesy of ESPN's Marc Raimondi.
