A certain something has been missing this week as we build toward UFC 254. What on paper appears to be one of the most epic fights of all time is slated for the main event Saturday in Abu Dhabi, where undefeated UFC lightweight champion Khabib Nurmagomedov (28-0 MMA, 12-0 UFC) takes on interim titleholder Justin Gaethje (22-2 MMA, 5-2 UFC). A promotion that bills itself as the Ultimate Fighting Championship is putting on the ultimate fight for a championship between the two best fighters in a division, and the simple idea of finding out who is the better man could very well turn this into the biggest-selling card of the year . This is the same appeal that got people to start taking notice of boxing sometime during the 19th century
