PFL Dubai weigh-in results: set of 2 title fights; 1 heavy fighter plane

The Professional Fighters League kicks off its 2026 schedule with two title fights, which are now official following the PFL Dubai weigh-ins. Headlining the card, which takes place in the United Arab Emirates, is a lightweight title fight between champion Usman Nurmagomedov and challenger Alfie Davis. Both fighters posted wins, as did Ramazan Kuramagomedov and Shamil Musaev, who will fight for the vacant welterweight title in the co-main event. The only fighter on the 13-fight card to miss weight was Antonia Silvaneide, who came in a pound overweight for her flyweight fight against Denise Kielholtz.Nurmagomedov (20-0, 1 NC) ended all controversy when he knocked out rival Paul Hughes in a highly anticipated rematch in his last fight. Now with a 2-0 win over Hughes, the 27-year-old is clearly the best lightweight in the PFL. The Dagestani fighter also has wins over Alexandr Shabliy, Benson Henderson and Patricky Freire. The champion officially weighed 155 pounds at the spot.

England’s Davis (20-5-1) wants to make a big splash. “The Ax Man” is riding a three-fight win streak after winning the 2025 PFL lightweight tournament with victories over Gadzhi Rabadanov, Brent Primus and Clay Collard. The 33-year-old weighed 154.6 pounds in the biggest fight of his career.

PFL Dubai will air live on the ESPN app starting at 9am ET/6am PT, with the main card starting at 12pm ET/9am PT.
