Road to Dubai: The Rematch – Nurmagomedov vs Hughes

Road to Dubai: The Rematch – Nurmagomedov vs Hughes - Coming Soon in UAE
Dubai |

The Professional Fighters League makes its return to Dubai on Thursday, 3 October 2025, delivering a highly anticipated Champions Series World Title rematch between unbeaten Bellator Lightweight World Champion Usman Nurmagomedov and Ireland’s dynamic contender Paul “Big News” Hughes.

Staged at the iconic Coca-Cola Arena, this headline clash marks the next milestone in the PFL’s strategic alliance with the Dubai Department of Economy and Tourism (DET) and the Dubai Sports Council (DSC), reinforcing the city’s position as a leading destination for world-class combat sports.

 

Their first meeting set the MMA world alight—Nurmagomedov, hailed as the “Pride of Dagestan,” demonstrated elite grappling and championship composure, while Hughes impressed with relentless heart, sharp striking, and undeniable skill.

Now, they meet again to settle unfinished business in a bout defined by high stakes, fierce rivalry, and the pursuit of legacy.

This is more than a title defense—it’s a battle of ambition, national pride, and redemption.
