PFL Dubai takes place on Feb. 7 at the Coca-Cola Arena in Dubai, United Arab Emirates, and is headlined by a lightweight championship clash pitting Usman Nurmagomedov against Alfie Davis. In the co-main event, Ramazan Kuramagomedov and Shamil Musaev will vie for the vacant welterweight strap. The card will stream on the ESPN app in the United States.
‘The Lazy King’ and a Khabib Student
More commonly known as “The Lazy King,” Abdourguimov will take a nine-fight winning streak into his next assignment. The 30-year-old Frenchman is 3-0 under the PFL banner, including a unanimous decision triumph over Laureano Staropoli at PFL Europe 4 on Dec. 14.
Umalatov, 33, has long been regarded as one of the top 170-pound talents in the PFL. “Prince” has been victorious in nine of 10 appearances in the organization, but he fell to Musaev via third-round TKO in the PFL welterweight finals in November 2024. Umalatov scored a first-round knockout of Anthony Ivy in his lone outing of 2025.
Ayoub is coming off a memorable promotional debut, when he stopped Keweny Lopes via third-round TKO at PFL Europe 3 on Sept. 26. The 30-year-old Frenchman has won eight straight bouts while also appearing in organizations such as KSW and Ares.
A protege of Khabib Nurmagomedov, Dagestan’s Zaynukov has won seven straight contests — including three in PFL competition. He was last in action at PFL Road to Dubai on Oct. 3, when he took a three-round verdict against John Mitchell.
