We have a feeling Kabib got exactly what he came for as he was named Lightweight Champion at UFC 242 on Saturday September 7. The 30-year-old fighter remains undefeated from an impressive 28 fights. Upon his victory, a hyped Khabib Nurmagomedov leapt out of the cage towards his team and UFC president Dana White in celebration.

Dustin Poirier

Khabib’s UFC opponent Poirer will leave Abu Dhabi defeated and no doubt disappointed after he tapped out in the third round after 2 minutes and six seconds. The fighter stayed with his team at Jumeirah at Saadiyat Island calling the staff ‘the best culinary team I could find’.

British TV presenter and former model, Melinda Messenger, is vacationing in Dubai this week with her children. Based on the style of the sun bed and the snaps of the kids in an Aquarium, we have a sneaking suspicion the family is staying at Atlantis The Palm.
