PFL Champion Celebrates Ireland's Sole Two-Division Champion, Overlooking Conor McGregor's Achievements
PFL Champions Series: Road to Dubai Preview
The Professional Fighters League (PFL) is set to host an exciting event on a yet-to-be-announced date, with a star-studded lineup of MMA fighters ready to showcase their skills.
In the Light Heavyweight World Title Co-Main Event, Corey Anderson will be in action. Meanwhile, the main event will see Paul Hughes facing Usman Nurmagomedov for the Lightweight World Title.
Hughes, one of the world's top lightweights, has a record of 14-2 and has expressed respect for Carl Frampton, the only two-weight world champion to come from Ireland in boxing. However, a comment he made about Frampton at a press conference could be interpreted as a snub to Conor McGregor, with whom he has a history. The comment signals the kind of reputation Hughes wants to build, tied to accolades and respect rather than spectacle and controversy.
Usman Nurmagomedov, with an unbeaten record of 19-0, 1 NC, will be a formidable opponent for Hughes. The Russian fighter is known for his impressive grappling and striking skills.
In another notable bout, Magomed Magomedov will face Sergio Pettis in a Bantamweight Main Card contest. Both fighters are known for their striking abilities and this match promises to be an exciting one.
The event will also feature a 165-Pound Catchweight Bout between Zubaira Tukhugov and Artem Lobov. Tukhugov, with a record of 21-5-1, is a dangerous striker, while Lobov, with a record of 15-4-1, is known for his toughness and resilience.
Archie Colgan and Jay-Jay Wilson will have a Lightweight Main Card Bout, while Lewis McGrillen and Caolan Loughran will compete in a Bantamweight Main Card Bout.
The PFL Champions Series: Road to Dubai event will also feature a Heavyweight Showcase Bout between Pouya Rahmani and Slim Trabelsi.
In other news, Conor McGregor, who has long referred to himself as Ireland's 'double champ' after winning UFC titles at featherweight and lightweight, recently withdrew his candidacy for the Irish presidential election in October 2025. Despite this decision, McGregor stated his commitment to Ireland would continue.
