Lightweight Gray Maynard vs. Nik Lentz
Welterweight Ryan LaFlare vs. Tony MartinBackgroundNurmagomedov has an undefeated record of 26–0, while McGregor was the first fighter to win titles in two divisions simultaneously. This fight has been dubbed "the biggest in UFC history" by organization president Dana White.
The event is expected to be headlined by a UFC Lightweight Championship bout between the undefeated current champion Khabib Nurmagomedov and former featherweight and lightweight champion Conor McGregor. McGregor captured the lightweight title at UFC 205, when he was the reigning featherweight champion. McGregor never defended the title, as he took some time off in 2017 due to the birth of his first son and later venturing himself in a boxing match against Floyd Mayweather Jr. (in which he lost). The UFC originally planned an interim title bout between Nurmagomedov and The Ultimate Fighter: Team Lesnar vs. Team dos Santos welterweight winner Tony Ferguson, but it was canceled due to Khabib having medical issues related to his weight cut on weigh-in day. Ferguson eventually won the interim title at UFC 216 against Kevin Lee. Ferguson was then expected to meet Nurmagomedov at UFC 223, with the winner being crowned the undisputed champion (as McGregor would be stripped of the title as soon as the bout took place). In turn, it was scrapped once again (fourth time) as Ferguson got injured, and after several possibilities for an opponent, Nurmagomedov eventually won the vacant title against Al Iaquinta. That card was also marked by an attack on a bus containing several fighters scheduled to compete at the event (including Nurmagomedov and two teammates), performed by McGregor and his crew.
Jussier Formiga was previously scheduled to face Sergio Pettis in January 2017 at UFC Fight Night: Rodríguez vs. Penn. However, Formiga pulled out of the fight for undisclosed reasons. The pairing was rescheduled for this event.
On October 1, Sean O'Malley announced that he was pulled from a bout against José Alberto Quiñónez due to a potential Anti-Doping Policy violation. Promotion officials have not confirmed if Quiñónez would remain on the card against a replacement or rescheduled for a separate event.  02 Oct - Updated fight card & background 02 Oct - Updated fight card again

lol, I like it... You can actually see from that pic who does have the thinner chin though. No wonder Conor can take hits and just keep coming and Khabib's jaw line/chin has been tested by Nobodies. Genetics definitely play a huge factor. That pic honestly just gets me even more excited for this card. So many crazy good fights. The return of Tony Ferguson as well. Gonna be an awesome night.

Hey, welcome to the site!
And yeah, but he's got a big chin Dent, and that just means a bigger target for Conor to hit. And he does leave it out there, and that is not something that you can just correct in less then a year, when its something that you have done your whole life. I am sure they have tried their best to train him to tuck it when he backs up, but his instincts are going to kick in, and that opening is going to present itself sooner or later. None the less. Its going to be super exciting.
