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

Excellent TDD by Hughes but he looks technically deficient overall. He's going to have to put some damage on Usman every time they get close.

THERE YOU GO

Man it sure seems hard to be a coach of the elite fighters. Just keep saying there you go and keep the distance LOL

Keep fighting exactly how you always fight Usman, there you go!

 

[MMA4Life]

Who the fuck is mic'd up that keeps going "there you go".

Javier Mendez?

Hughes' TDD and clinch boxing is what's working for him. I like the offense when Usman tries the plum over the top, especially to the body.

 

[DrRodentia]

Interesting Dennis Siver shout

Usman has landed some clean knees, Hardy. Are you blind? Lol

 

[clownkiller]

nahhh umar is better then this usman i thought they were hyping him as the next big thing dont see nothing special tbh

 

[Bobby Boulders]

Hughes looking solid

 

[Substance Abuse]

2-0 Usman, Usman on pure volume, but when Hughes lands, it seems to be damaging Usman who's met very little adversity on his career. I'm curious how he holds up if he keeps taking offense.

 

[fortheo]

Better pressure from hughes that round, needs a bit more output and he might take over.

 

[Killer Kadoogan]

WAR HUGHES!!!!! so satisfying to watch the nurmagomedovs gert beat

 

[podsox]

Usman looked really tired

 

[DrRodentia]

Heating up now

 

[Bubzeh]

That was an incredible round of male mixed martial arts.

 

[Pechan]

Don't know what gym this kid is from but it seems to be much, much better than SBG.

Usman is really good. I think we're all underrating Hughes a bit.

 

[Mmmmmmma1234]

He's probably still losing but I'm impressed with Hughes would love to see him crossing to the UFC he'd be top 10 and probably give Islam a problem or two.

Yeah comparing this fight with the one Umar just had. Umar's hands and kicks are much cleaner. He also wrestled incredibly well against Merab even when gassed.

 

[Evbo]

Oooh this is getting very cheeky, come on Hughes! Wanna see Usman eat crow after his words in the pre-fight

 

[Tchernobog]

Hughes starting to cook...gotta love those body shots
