Countless hours of repetition in the gym and a steady rise through the ranks have led Magomed Umalatov here: one win away from a Professional Fighters League championship and a life-altering seven-figure payday.
The undefeated 32-year-old Russian will put a perfect 17-0 record on the line when his welterweight final opposite countryman Shamil Musaev helps anchor the PFL 2024 Season Championships this Friday at King Saud University Stadium in Riyadh, Saudi Arabia. Umalatov advanced to the final with wins over Andrey Koreshkov, Brennan Ward and Neiman Gracie.
