PBP PFL Road to Dubai Champions Series: Nurmagomedov vs. Hughes ***Sherdog Discussion*** 1/25 11AM ET (MAX)

That clash of heads was a blessing for usman. He was fading

 

[Tchernobog]

I don't see a broken fighter. Usman is winning this on pure volume. Hughes is having success when he does land and is accounting for himself very well.

Hughes still has 1.5 rounds to do it, but the momentum is there imo

 

[El Fernas]

Is it me, or Hughes guy seems to be timing Nurmagomedov better and better? Need him in the UFC!!

 

[ff]

Are you not at the event, bud??

Sadly not

 

[fortheo]

Usman is going to win. Hughes takes the first two minutes of every round off. Usman will get his breath back and win from range the way he has been for most the minutes of this fight.

Meh

 

[The-AxeMurderer]

Usman lol

It was a head butt, no breaks lol

 

[Cherry]

Usman hamming it up

 

[Bubzeh]

Chance of a draw here. First two Usman, draw, last two Paul.

One guy is slowing down more than the other. It makes sense.

 

[cooljay1622]

Usman is milking this.

 

[fortheo]

That defend the takedowns part has historically been quite difficult

I know. Nobody said it was easy xD. Hughes has been doing that part well, though. May as well try to pick up the volume now.

 

[Moin]

acting class is in session

 

[usernamee]

I hope they wipe Paul off again, so he's not just standing there bleeding all over his face because Usman wants to milk it

 

[Pechan]

Hmmm

Meh

He has success when he can create exchanges and get in range. But he is taking too much time off and letting Usman pick at him.

 

[Substance Abuse]

Hughes' corner is coaching. Hughes is acting like Usman is acting when Hughes acted like he was about to die from a nut kick and was fine 30 seconds later. Not a fan of this, lol.

 

[DrRodentia]

Usman definitely taking a breather here

 

[Luthien]

Paul is winning over the crowd?

 

[El Fernas]

One guy is slowing down more than the other. It makes sense.

He also dismissed the body work of Hughes while in the clinch, that last uppercut landed nicely on Usman.

Hughes playing to the crowd while he's about to lose the round, lol.
