My vision was to create an innovative and premium MMA company as the valuable alternative for those that want or need it. We started with nothing except universal skepticism. Against all odds, we succeeded. Now PFL is the clear No. 2 MMA company worldwide and the only other premium product.

The Professional Fighters League on Tuesday announced that Umalatov has withdrawn from the welterweight bout for undisclosed reasons. As a result, Kendly St. Louis will step in and face "The Lazy King" on Feb. 7 at the Coca-Cola Arena in Dubai, United Arab Emirates. PFL Road to Dubai is headlined by a lightweight championship clash between Usman Nurmagomedov and Alfie Davis and airs on the ESPN App in the United States.

The PFL has announced its first main event of 2026, and it's a promising one. Lightweight champion Usman Nurmagomedov (20-0, 1NC) will once again be fighting in Dubai, when he takes on 2025 PFL World Tournament winner Alfie Davis (20-5-1). The title fight takes place at the Coca-Cola Arena on February 7, 2026.

Outside of the cage, Kasanganay, who earned a million dollars for his 2023 PFL championship win, is moving into the world of finance. He's taken a role with world renowned accounting firm Ernst & Young. "It's one of the big four accounting firms. November 12 is my start date, so I've just got to finish some things, and God willing everything finishes through, but I'll be in consulting and doing finance," Kasanganay revealed. "So I'll be doing that while fighting; I'll be active for sure."

In the PFL Hollywood main event from the Hard Rock Casino in Hollywood, Florida two former Bellator contenders collided in the PFL Middleweight World Tournament finals. Fabian Edwards is an athletic striker, who previously challenged for championship gold against Johnny Eblen. Dalton Rosta started this tournament as an alternate, proving himself in the opening round over promotion standout Sadibou Sy and then picking up a win over the only man to defeat him Aaron Jeffery in the semifinals.

Gadzhi Rabadanov won the 2024 PFL Global lightweight season and is looking to double up as a PFL World Tournament champion when he takes on Alfie Davis in an all-Bellator main event. With a 12-fight win streak and four straight finishes, Rabadanov is looking deadlier than ever.

A.J. began finding his range, tagging Magomedov a couple of times and wobbling him on the feet while controlling the pace of the fight.

"Everything I look at in this matchup tells me to pick Ilia. He's a better technical boxer... I think he'll do serious damage." -- Anthony Smith.

"I was just excited to be back in the SmartCage. Win, lose or draw, I just enjoy competing. I enjoy the sport. I love the sport."
