UFC 3 is the most realistic mixed martial arts game ever made,
UFC President Dana White said.
Andy Warkman, SVP, Sport & Sports Production, OSN, said: "We are very excited about bringing
UFC back to OSN viewers and entering into this long term partnership.
What's even more exciting about this marquee fight is that it signals the return of
UFC lightweight champion Khabib Nurmagomedov, the man who silenced Conor McGregor to remain unbeaten on 27 appearances in the feared octagon.
A natural fighter by profession, Nurmagomedov also has a flourishing career outside of the
UFC, bagging two championships each in Combat sambo and grappling and one gold in pankration.
