UFC lightweight contender Khabib Nurmagomedov returns to action on Saturday at UFC 219 when he meets Edson Barboza in a critical co-main event. Undefeated Nurmagomedov (24-0 MMA, 8-0 UFC) has been out of action for nearly 14 months. He last fought in November 2016, when he earned a victory over Michael Johnson, and after a last-minute withdrawal from an interim title fight vs. Tony Ferguson earlier this year, the Russian finally gets back to work against Barboza (19-4 MMA, 13-4 UFC).
