Ultimate Fighting Championship (UFC) returns to Prudential Center in Newark, N.J., on Sat., June 1, 2024, with an absolutely fire pay-per-view (PPV) slate that features the No. 1-ranked pound-for-pound fighter in the world, Islam Makhachev, granting the always-dangerous, Dustin Poirier, perhaps the final 155-pound title shot of his legendary career.
