PFL Dubai Post Show: Reaction to Usman Nurmagomedov vs. Paul Hughes classic clash

Did the PFL just have its coming out moment?

On Saturday, Usman Nurmagomedov and Paul Hughes went to war for 25 minutes in the main event of PFL Dubai. Nurmagomedov eked out a majority decision win, but Hughes won the moral victory after giving the undefeated Dagestani all he could handle for 25 minutes, resulting in the current frontrunner for Fight of the Year

In the immediate aftermath of such an incredible fight, MMA Fighting’s Jed Meshew and Casey Leydon hold an impromptu post-show, discussing the incredible main event, whether its the best fight in PFL history, if this is the sort of event that could get PFL to finally break through with the broader MMA fandom, and more.
