"Or, if you prefer, the PFL Champions Series: Road to Dubai - The Rematch card. While a bit of a mouthful, "The Rematch" was very much a rematch fans all wanted to see. Perhaps the most anticipated MMA fight of the year outside of the UFC, after Nurmagomedov and Hughes put on an instant classic in their first meeting. Now for the PFL's lightweight title, in place of its Bellator counterpart."
"That was just the sort of result the Professional Fighters League was looking for when they signed "Big News" Hughes out from under the UFC. The Rematch wasn't the only worth fight on Friday's PFL Champions Series 3 card, however. Also featured, a second title fight, with Corey Anderson facing Dovlet Yagshimuradov for light heavyweight gold."
"PFL Champions Series: Road to Dubai - The Rematch takes place on Friday, October 3, 2025 at the Coca-Cola Arena in Dubai, UAE. The card streams live on ESPN Unlimited in the U.S., and DAZN in parts of Europe. Full results can be found below. The action gets underway at 11:30AM ET, 8:30AM PT."
