Usman Nurmagomedov retained his Bellator lightweight title in thrilling fashion this past weekend.
The undefeated protégé of UFC star Khabib Nurmagomedov went toe to toe with Ireland’s Paul Hughes to win a majority decision in the main event of PFL Road to Dubai Champions Series. It was a highly competitive fight that had many fans entertained and debating who was the rightful winner. Some even suggested that Nurmagomedov (19-0) and Hughes (13-2) should run things back in an immediate rematch.
So, should PFL book these two again? Did Nurmagomedov deserve the decision win? Was this the best fight in PFL’s history?
MMA Junkie’s Nolan King, Mike Bohn, Danny Segura and host Gorgeous George discuss Nurmagomedov’s title defense over Hughes and what should come next for both fighters.
