The Professional Fighters League returns to Dubai on February 7 for a championship triple-header at Coca-Cola Arena. Undefeated lightweight champion Usman Nurmagomedov will defend his PFL world title against Alfie Davis in the main event.
Both fighters enter the bout with perfect professional records. Nurmagomedov has dominated opponents with his grappling-heavy style, carrying on the legacy of his famous cousin Khabib.
Davis earned his title shot by winning the 2025 PFL Lightweight Tournament. The English striker brings a freestyle kickboxing background and aims to upset the Dagestani champion.
Team Khabib Presence Dominates Fight Card
The event showcases multiple fighters from Team Khabib’s stable. Khabib Nurmagomedov, who coaches the team, has strong words for critics of their fighting style.
“If people like, they like. If they hate, they hate,” Khabib told media at a pre-fight press conference. “But the numbers talk. Belts talk. And ranking.”
Khabib pointed to his team’s success across promotions. Islam Makhachev holds the UFC lightweight title, while Usman controls the PFL division.
“We’re here to take everything,” Khabib said. He dismissed concerns about anti-Russian bias and criticism of wrestling-heavy fighting styles.
The card features several other Team Khabib fighters Khabib considers future champions. Undefeated lightweight Amru Magomedov makes his PFL debut against Kolton Englund with a 9-0 record.
“I don’t think somebody in the world can beat these guys,” Khabib said of Magomedov and bantamweight Renat Khavalov. “Maybe one, two, or three times can give them hard time.”
Khabib also mentioned his cousin Khabib Nabiev as part of the team’s rising talent. He described his coaching role as essential despite not always enjoying it.
“They are like my young brothers,” he explained. “I have to be here and I have to support them, I have to give them good advice to stay focused, train right, and be the champion.”
