The dream of Paul Hughes facing off against Usman Nurmagomedov once more appears to be alive and kicking, although the details are yet to be finalized. According to PFL representative Jonathan Coachman, the official statement that the winner of Archie Colgan vs. Mansour Barnaui will be the title contender is not the whole story.
