"Shamil Musaev can say a lot with a few words, hence the nickname "The Silent Assassin." Undefeated through 21 career bouts, he will face Russian compatriot Ramazan Kuramagomedov for the inaugural Professional Fighters League welterweight championship in the PFL Dubai "Nurmagomedov vs. Davis" co-main event on Saturday at Coca-Cola Arena in Dubai, United Arab Emirates. It marks Musaev's first appearance since he won the PFL welterweight tournament in November 2024."
"Musaev understands the change but admits he will miss the activity the previous format brought the table. "This is going to be different for me, for sure," he told Sherdog.com. "With the tournament, you knew when and how many times you could potentially be fighting for the year, but now things are not going to be so clear. I'm excited for the challenge and to see what is in store for my future.""
Shamil Musaev, nicknamed "The Silent Assassin," remains undefeated through 21 career bouts and will face Ramazan Kuramagomedov for the inaugural PFL welterweight championship in the PFL Dubai co-main event at Coca-Cola Arena in Dubai. The fight marks Musaev's first appearance since winning the PFL welterweight tournament in November 2024. The PFL, under new CEO John Martin in 2026, removed its tournament and season-based schedule in favor of a rankings system intended to pit top fighters against each other. Musaev recognizes the changes, expects a different competition pace, plans to win the title, aims to fight twice more this year, and expresses excitement to compete in Dubai.
