The main card starts at 4:30 p.m. BST, and Nurmagomedov and Hughes should make their way to the octagon around 8:30 p.m. BST, depending on how long the undercard fights last.<\/p>\n Nurmagomedov (19-0, 1 NC) was a top prospect in Bellator, winning the Bellator lightweight title in 2022. The only blemish on his career was a win that got turned into a no-contest following an accidental ingestion of a prescription drug with an illegal substance.<\/p>\n Hughes (14-2) is a former Cage Warriors featherweight champion. The 28-year-old earned the right to fight Nurmagomedov after impressing against former world champion A. J. McKee.<\/p>\n The two competed in a classic in January, with Nurmagomedov earning a majority decision win in what was deemed a controversial result. Now, fighting for the PFL lightweight title, both attempt to trump the other in an anticipated rematch.<\/p>\n “You\u2019ll see a more aggressive, confident version of me this time. I\u2019ve had a taste now \u2014 I know I belong at the very top, and I\u2019m coming to take what\u2019s mine,” Hughes told The Sporting News.<\/p>\n “This is not the same Usman who was [fighting] in January. This is a different Usman. And I know he\u2019s going to be different too. That\u2019s why I think this is one of the best fights of this year. It\u2019s going to be one of the best fights of this year, me and Paul Hughes,” Nurmagomedov said via Cageside Press<\/a>.<\/p>\n PFL Dubai fight card<\/p>\n Main Card<\/p>\n Usman Nurmagomedov (c) vs. Paul Hughes 2 for the PFL lightweight titleCorey Anderson vs. Dovlet Yagshimuradov for the PFL light heavyweight titleMagomed Magomedov vs. Sergio Pettis; LightweightsArchie Colgan vs. Jay-Jay Wilson; LightweightsJack Cartwright vs.\u00a0Caolan Loughran; Catchweight<\/p>\n Prelims<\/p>\n Pouya Rahmani vs. Slim Trabelsi; HeavyweightsOmar El Dafrawy vs. Florim Zendeli; WelterweightsLuann Sardinha vs. Mirafzal Akhtamov; LightweightsTakeshi Izumi vs. Vinicius Sacchelli Cenci; LightweightsMakkasharip Zaynukov vs. John Mitchell; LightweightsJarrah Al-Silawi vs. Gregory Babene; Middleweights<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"A heated rivalry undergoes its second act in Dubai when Usman Nurmagomedov and Paul Hughes compete for the…\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":187072,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[444],"tags":[49,48,641,638,82],"class_list":{"0":"post-187071","1":"post","2":"type-post","3":"status-publish","4":"format-standard","5":"has-post-thumbnail","7":"category-mma","8":"tag-ca","9":"tag-canada","10":"tag-fighting","11":"tag-mma","12":"tag-sports"},"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/187071","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=187071"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/187071\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/187072"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=187071"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=187071"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=187071"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
