Abdoul Abdouraguimov will not be squaring off against Magomed Umalatov at PFL Road to Dubai as originally anticipated.
The Professional Fighters League on Tuesday announced that Umalatov has withdrawn from the welterweight bout for undisclosed reasons.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.

A 35-year-old native of Lauderdale Lakes, Florida, St. Louis split a pair of bouts under the PFL banner last year. After scoring a third-round submission of Mukhamed Berkhamov at PFL Tournament 5 on June 12, “The Highlander” suffered a first-round TKO defeat against Chris Mixan at PFL Tournament 9 on Aug. 15. St. Louis has also earned victories on the PFL Challenger Series and for Cage Fury Fighting Championships during his professional tenure.
Abdouraguimov hasn’t competed since December 2024, when he earned a unanimous decision triumph over Laureano Staropoli at the PFL Europe finals. The French submission specialist has won nine straight fights — including three under the PFL banner — dating back to August 2020.
