Putting on one of the best fights of the year in their first encounter in the Middle East, Usman Nurmagomedov and Paul Hughes run it back for a second at the PFL Champions Series 3. Before that, though, reigning light heavyweight champion Corey Anderson defends his strap against previous company tournament winner Dovletdzhan Yagshimuradov.

Over the course of his run in Bellator, and now PFL, Nurmagomedov has looked almost unstoppable, logging three retentions of his former Bellator lightweight belt. It wasn’t until he faced off with Hughes this past January that the dominant Dagestani truly felt adversity for the first time, winning the fight after a tight split decision.
