PFL rules one of the most bitter feud in MMA history while Artem Lobov returns to the cage to be confronted in Dubai in Dubai in October in Dubai.
In 2018 it was an incident between Lobov, Tukhugov and Khabib Nurmagomedov that led to Conor McGregor attacking a bus full of UFC hunters in Brooklyn for UFC 223. At that time, the fight was quickly called off by Dana White and never again booked.
Now, as one of the most important undercard attacks to Usman Nurmagomedov and the long-awaited Rematch of Paul Hughes, the Russian duo will make their comebacks to MMA. Tukhugov fought for the last time in 2023, while Lobov's last MMA competition was in 2018 before a three-year boxing run.
Artem Lobov vs Zubaira Tukhugov booked for PFL Dubai
Seven years after they were initially booked to go on it, today MMA reported uncensored that Artem Lobov against Zubaira Tukhugov will fight at the Undercard of PFL's next Champions Series event in Dubai.
The match of the couple at UFC 223 never took place after the bus incident of McGregor, and Lobov only fought again in the Octagon before moving to BKFC. In the meantime, Tukhugov with Lerone Murphy pulled before he went 2-2, including two weight missions, to close his career.
This competition is expected to take place on 165 pounds, which means that an easy weight area for both men is cut. Lobov wrote on Instagram of the competition: “7 years later, but this fight was inevitable. #Kutuzov.”
PFL Dubai Main Event was leaked by Khabib Nurmagomedov
While PFL Brass is likely to be frustrated by leaking the battles of their large card, it is far from the worst way to have news to go on stage with leaking the legendary Khabib -Nurmagomedov and he announces far from the worst way to release news.
During an event in New York City, the unbeaten former UFC champion made a few briefs of the tongue. He first announced fans that Islam Makhachev would fight Jack della Maddalena in Madison Square Garden later this year.
And he later gave the news that his cousin usman Nurmagomedov would be confronted with Paul Hughes for the second time on 3 October. Their competition in January was an early competition for Fight of the Year and inspired calls for an immediate rematch.
