UFC schedule 2020: Every upcoming event, including Khabib Nurmagomedov vs Justin Gaethje at UFC 254 and Conor McGregor next fight date

It has been a strange year so far, but despite the obvious restrictions a global pandemic places on sports, mixed martial arts has continued.

The premier promoter of the sport, the UFC has been seriously impacted like others and their events have been behind closed doors.

UFC supremo Dana White has been determined to keep the action going and even secured the memorable UFC 251 main event on ‘Fight Island’ in July.

Kamaru Usman beat Jorge Masvidal and the company is back in Abu Dhabi where Israel Adeasanya defended his middleweight title against Paulo Costa.

And in October, Khabib’s eagerly-anticipated return will also feature.

Then we could also see the return to the octagon of Conor McGregor before the end of the year.

The former two-weight champion appears set to take on Dustin Poirier either in November or December.

Khabib and Gaethje are arguably two of the lightweight division’s best fighters at the moment and they will fight for the former’s title on 24 October.
