PFL star Paul Hughes believes that he had Usman Nurmagomedov beat in their first encounter before a change in momentum late in the fight.
As we know, Paul Hughes and Usman Nurmagomedov are set to run it back later this year in a rematch of their incredible first meeting in January. While the first bout was closer than many had anticipated, it was Usman who just about managed to get his hand raised in victory. As you can imagine, Paul wasn’t too pleased about that.
While the two have shown a lot of mutual respect towards each other, there’s a certain competitive rivalry that’s emerged – and Paul Hughes is leading the dance.
