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

[Killer Kadoogan]

No chance I could give usman round 4 for lying on top and zero chance he gets round 5 to me

exactly, and hughes did better in the earlier rounds too. negated all takedown attempts and landed better shots. garbage decision, but you knew it was going to happen. too much money in dubai and the nurmagomedovs.

 

[MoneyMcGrabber]

Paul Hughes won IMO

 

[El Fernas]

Good test for him, Hughes guy is legit.

How long are they keeping this belt going? I have the idea some of the Bellator belts are gone now.

 

[Bubzeh]

Wasn’t a robbery, stop crying. Was a good fight.

Goodnight.

 

[Substance Abuse]

Fighters need to refuse fights in the Middle East. It's absolute bullshit corruption out there

 

[Pechan]

The same people that ignore Musk's nazi salute about to rage against Khabib online.

 

[sdpdude9]

This was a consistency vs. moments judging situation in my opinion. Usman showed more consistency picking away for large portions of the fight with less big moments. Hughes had big moments but was losing in between.

 

[markg171]

Khabib getting the mic to make a pro Palestine and UAE propaganda speech rather gives away the game that Hughes was never going to be allowed to win this fight without a flatline KO

 

[RichardHarrow]

Man Khabib really won the Irish back with that comment.

 

[BoomStronk]

That was class as fuck from khabib.

 

[StanTheMan]

Fucking classy from Khabib.

 

[DrRodentia]

I like Usman's attitude here

Usman won that fight. Here comes the robbery cries. Can't wait for the short bus posts.

Good luck, sane posters.

Yeah and you know the haters speaking the loudest are gonna be the usual Dagi haters lol.

Much respect to Hughes for how game he is but the best case he has here is a 47-47 draw imo.

 

[Superzorro]

That fight made me a Hughes fan. I knew based on how tough of a fight he made it with McKee that it would look like this. Hughes only has himself to blame really. It was crazy how obviously Usman was hurt to the body and yet he continued to headhunt until the last couple of seconds. That long break after the head clash also played a major factor in round four because it gave Usman time to rest and Hughes more time to bleed out.

 

[surgeyou1]

Draw for me. Milking that headbutt changed the momentum for Hughes.

Run it back.

 

[Mmmmmmma1234]

Majority Dec isn't very controversial but pfl has mostly weak lws so i wouldn't mind seeing them rematch right away.

 

[europe1]

Fucking classy from Khabib.

What happened? Turned off.

 

[RichardHarrow]

Hughes is legit.
