Usman Nurmagomedov successfully retained his PFL lightweight world title in Dubai, but only after a razor-thin and contentious points decision victory over his fierce Irish rival, Paul Hughes.
The rematch, held eight months after their last bruising encounter at the same venue, was a heartbreaker for Hughes, who was left disappointed by the judging outcome.
Nurmagomedov, the Russian lightweight champion and cousin of former UFC champion Khabib Nurmagomedov, seemed eager to close the chapter on his rivalry with Hughes.
In the wake of the demanding title defence, Nurmagomedov wasted no time in confirming his next target, calling out Briton Alfie Davis.
The Russian asked, 'Who is the handsome guy from England, Alfie Davis?' before issuing a direct challenge: 'Anytime, anywhere, I am waiting for you.' Davis, 33, recently won the PFL's 2025 tournament as a major underdog, claiming the title and a substantial prize by defeating Gadzhi Rabadanov on points.
The Londoner's victory and the subsequent call-out from the champion appear to immediately place him at the front of the queue as the number one contender for the lightweight belt.
Meanwhile, Hughes, who is signed to a long-term deal with the PFL, has a host of options, including a potential fight against American Archie Coglhan, who had hoped his win on the undercard against New Zealander Jay Jay Wilson would secure him the next title shot.
