Abdoul Abdouraguimov, more popularly known as “The Lazy King,” had just finished his first faceoff with Saturday’s PFL Europe main event dance partner, Laureno Starpoli, when he sat down to share his thoughts.
“It was simple, efficient and smooth,” Abdouraguimov told Uncrowned, in his own quirky manner.
“I felt a calm energy … the calm before the storm, as they say.”
This time last summer, the Dagestan-born French fan favorite appeared to be on the verge of signing with the UFC.
His signature submission style had long wowed the masses across Europe and beyond, allowing him to secure welterweight titles with Brave CF and claim both welterweight and middleweight titles with Ares FC.
