Conor McGregor will come up against one of the toughest opponents he has ever faced in Khabib Nurmagomedov when he returns to the UFC octagon on Oct. 6 in a bid to win back the lightweight title after an absence of almost two years.

There is no love lost between the two fighters and the bout is one of the most eagerly-anticipated in the UFC after confrontations between the two camps and a violent incident in Brooklyn in April.
