Following an eventful opening to the new year, the PFL get their competitive calendar up and running today at a sold-out Coca-Cola Arena in Dubai in the United Arab Emirates.
Clash Of The Titans
The main card carries a strong ‘Dagestan vs. Ireland’ flavor to it with Bellator lightweight champion Usman Nurmagomedov (18-0) putting his belt on the line against former Cage Warriors champion “Big News” Paul Hughes (13-1).
Former Bellator light heavyweight champion Vadim Nemkov (18-2) takes on Tim Johnson (18-10) in the co-main event with a strong possibility that a victory for the Russian may result in a superfight against former UFC heavyweight champion Francis Ngannou later this year.
