Khabib Nurmagomedov will look to keep his undefeated record in tact and continue cementing his legacy as arguably the greatest lightweight of all time when he takes on interim champ Dustin Poirier.
Nurmagomedov was put on the shelf for inciting the melee between camps after the fight when he jumped the cage in an attempt to dropkick a member of McGregor's team.
Consecutive wins over the likes of Anthony Pettis, Justin Gaethje, Eddie Alvarez and Max Holloway is tough to argue with.
Barboza, meanwhile, has lost three of four, but remains one of the most dangerous kickboxers in the sport, scoring a brutal TKO win over Dan Hooker in December 2018.
With another UFC pay-per-view event on tap, the crew at CBS Sports went ahead with predictions and picks for the main card with latest odds from Westgate.
If "The Eagle" can succeed in taking the fight to the ground early, he can rob from Poirier's gas tank and water down the danger of his attack.
