Khabib Nurmagomedov needed to strip naked to make weight but the lightweight king hit the championship mark ahead of his title defence against Dustin Poirier at UFC 242.

Nurmagomedov was the first fighter to weigh in, tipping the scales at 155lbs after using a hoop to make the lightweight limit.

He closed his eyes and raised his hands after making weight, before shaking his head and clapping his hands as he posed for the cameras.

It appears the Dagestan fighter has endured another tough weight cut. His no-show at media day sparked scares he wouldn't make weight for his Abu Dhabi showdown.

Interim-champion Dustin Poirier also made weight. He weighed in at 155lbs.

The UFC 242 main-event is official with Nurmagomedov and Dustin Poirier both making weight on Friday morning. All fighters except one made weight for Saturday's card.

Sarah Moras weighed in at 138lbs for her women's bantamweight fight against Liana Jojua - 2lbs over the limit.
