Usman Nurmagomedov remains undefeated and continues to hold Bellator’s lightweight title. But, the accomplished fighter narrowly got by challenger Paul Hughes at the PFL’s latest card on Saturday.

After five-rounds of action, Nurmagomedov was awarded the fight via a majority decision. The champion was deducted a point in round three due to low-blow fouls.

Following the thrilling fight, a disgruntled Hughes called for a rematch to take place in Belfast.

With the win, Nurmagomedov moved his record to 19-0. Hughes record now stands at 13-2.
