Hughes was just a bull, and Nurmagomedov was the matador who led him exactly where he wanted. A confident win, well-deserved. The belt belongs to Russia, Dagestan. A great team that deserves all this success and triumph.

In the early hours of October 4, Nurmagomedov won by unanimous decision and became the new PFL lightweight champion. Recall that in January 2025, Nurmagomedov defeated Hughes by majority decision.
