Usman Nurmagomedov to Defend PFL Lightweight Title Against Alfie Davis in Dubai on Feb. 7

The booking underscores PFL’s pivot to marquee matchmaking for its Dubai-focused 2026 slate.

Overview

  • PFL confirmed Nurmagomedov (20-0, 1 NC) will headline at Coca-Cola Arena, facing 2025 lightweight tournament winner Alfie Davis.
  • The card adds a co-main event for the inaugural welterweight title as Ramazan Kuramagomedov meets Shamil Musaev.
  • Davis earned his shot with a 2025 run featuring wins over Clay Collard, Brent Primus and Gadzhi Rabadanov.
  • Nurmagomedov became PFL’s official lightweight champion in October with a decision over Paul Hughes.
  • Ticket presale registration opened with early access before general sale on Monday, as PFL signals a move away from season formats and cools short-term UFC talk for Nurmagomedov.
