PFL Finalizes Dubai Card With Nemkov Defending Heavyweight Title

The Nov. 14 show will stream prelims on the ESPN app with the main card on ESPN+/ESPN as part of PFL’s push into the Middle East.

Overview

  • PFL confirmed a 15-fight card for Saturday, Nov. 14 at Coca-Cola Arena in Dubai with Vadim Nemkov defending the heavyweight title against teammate Sergey Bilostenniy.
  • Prelims will stream on the ESPN app at 9 a.m. ET and the main card will air on ESPN+/ESPN at 1 p.m. ET, with U.S. viewers seeing the event in a morning to midday window.
  • Nemkov and Bilostenniy train together, and coverage says Bilostenniy moved his camp ahead of the fight to avoid the conflict of facing a teammate.
  • The co-main pairs unbeaten knockout artist Patrick Habirora against Omar El Dafrawy and the main card includes veterans such as Sergio Pettis, Abubakar Nurmagomedov, Oleg Popov and rising international prospects.
  • The Dubai event underscores PFL’s regional expansion and streaming strategy in the Middle East and could raise the promotion’s global profile by staging a stacked international card with local partners.
