Paul Hughes is pissed.
In January, Hughes and Usman Nurmagomedov put on an absolute barnburner that saw the latter escape with a majority decision victory, retaining his Bellator lightweight title in the process.
Considering how ridiculously competitive and entertaining the fight was, everyone expected the PFL to announce an immediate rematch. Instead, Hughes was forced to go out and get another win, and that’s exactly what he did, starching Bruno Miranda just 42 seconds into their PFL Europe 1 headliner last month in Belfast.
