PFL Dubai: Nurmagomedov vs. Davis Prelim Results and Highlights
The Professional Fighters League is back for its first fight card of the year, PFL Dubai.
Emanating from Coca-Cola Arena in the United Arab Emirates, PFL Dubai features a can’t-miss lightweight championship clash as reigning titleholder Usman Nurmagomedov puts his gold on the line against UK fan favorite Alfie Davis.
‘The Axe Man’ earned his title opportunity after running through the competition during last year’s PFL lightweight world tournament, defeating Clay Collard, Brent Primus, and Gadzhi Rabadanov along the way.
In the co-main event of the evening, it’ll be a battle of the unbeatens as Ramazan Kuramagomedov (13-0) squares off with fellow Russian sensation Shamil Musaev (20-0-1) for the promotion’s vacant welterweight crown.
But before we get to all the main card action, we’ve got results and highlights from eight prelim card matchups, including the returns of former Bellator standout Denise Kielholtz, 27-fight veteran Taylor Lapilus, and undefeated Dagestani standout Amru Magomedov.
