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

[KhabibPink]

I think Usman won on activity. Not a robbery imo, hughes’ stock rises

 

[markg171]

Absolutely stunning stupidity on your part to use a BJ Penn gif when BJ famously lost a controversial decision to Frankie Edgar in...

Abu Dhabi

 

[Limeade]

Usman 1, 4, and 5. His one-twos and knees were more meaningful than anything Hughes could put together.

 

[ExitLUPin]

Khabib is one of the biggest attention whores ever. Needs clout like a female. It's wild he always tries to find a way to interject himself or his opinions. Retired and goes on tours every other month to hear himself talk. Ridiculous LMAO

 

[Gilday]

I thought it was probably a draw, but Hughes activity did cost him. There were a few times he shucked off Usman and had him against the cage and he didn't throw

 

[europe1]

The real loser in all of this is obviously Alexander Shabily

 

[DrRodentia]

Irish/Dagestan relations at an all time high.

Conor will spoil that shortly.

 

[Tchernobog]

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.

 

[El Che]

That was an outstanding fight. Possibly PFL's best ever.

 

[tornado362]

Paul Hughes impressed me tonight, personally had it 47-47, but I'm not mad at the decision

UAE

You're not that smart. Edgar got that gift from American Judges while neither fighter was from that area. Doug Crosby and his rant about Penn fans online soon after was the icing on the cake.

I'm so happy Sal D'Amato, Crosby and Andy Roberts were inept only in the UAE.

So yes...

Lol what.....

He never speaks when his guys fight, he always tries makes it about them.

Khabib is classy.

 

[TheBrownRanger]

Usman Nurmagomedov vs Mads Burnell
Paul Hughes vs Gadzhi Rabadanov
Vadim Nemkov vs Francis Ngannou
Tim Johnson vs Daniel James

Are the fights to make IMO

 

[KhabibPink]

I wish the Dags and Irish would get along, shame Conor had to create that division.

 

[svmr_db]

Hit this live bet on Usman, thanks champ now my son can eat dinner tonight.

 

[The-AxeMurderer]

I wanted Hughes to win, he is a bad ass. I think he just let some key moments go to Usman.

A rematch will be fun as hell.

Props to both of them.

 

[Substance Abuse]

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.

I think this is the appropriate way to frame this decision and very sensible. Hughes did great. Looking forward to the rematch with another approach.

 

[NoBiasJustMMA]

I thought it was 47-47 with Usman 1, 2, and 4 and Hughes 3 and 5.

I'm sure its fine. If the Hughes team were ever to visit Dagestan they'd be welcomed with open arms and looked after.

Not so sure about Khabibs team going to Ireland though...
