A former UAE Warriors champion, the 26-year-old combatant has finished seven of his fights inside the distance. Most recently, he stopped UFC veteran Alex da Silva inside a round with a body kick.<\/p>\n<p class=\"duet--article--dangerously-set-cms-markup duet--article--standard-paragraph _1nfb3k4i _16w9vov1 _16w9vov0 ls9zuh1\">The Russian standout has trained at Khabib Nurmagomedov\u2019s MMA school in the past, which makes for an interesting dynamic, seeing as the current PFL Lightweight champion is Khabib\u2019s cousin, Usman Nurmagomedov. If anything, Magomedov\u2019s signing seems to lend some credence to the idea that Usman won\u2019t be sticking around with PFL too much longer, particularly since his rivalry with Paul Hughes is now <a href=\"https:\/\/www.mmamania.com\/professional-fighters-league-pfl\/394763\/paul-hughes-finally-breaks-silence-over-controversial-pfl-dubai-title-loss-it-has-taken-its-toll\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\">somewhat settled<\/a>.<\/p>\n<p class=\"duet--article--dangerously-set-cms-markup duet--article--standard-paragraph _1nfb3k4i _16w9vov1 _16w9vov0 ls9zuh1\">Either way, it\u2019s a quality signing for PFL. Perhaps allowing Larissa Pacheco to <a href=\"https:\/\/www.mmamania.com\/professional-fighters-league-pfl\/397927\/two-time-pfl-champ-last-fighter-beat-kayla-harrison-now-free-agent-ufc-bound\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\">walk off into free agency<\/a> helped clear up some budget room for the young prospect?<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"The Professional Fighter\u2019s League (PFL) has just picked up another top Lightweight prospect.
