Nurmagomedov (21-0) put his lightweight title on the line against Davis in the main event at PFL Dubai on Saturday. The undefeated Dagestani looked nearly flawless while putting Davis to sleep with a reverse arm-triangle in the third round.

Recent footage has surfaced of Nurmagomedov taking pre-fight instructions from referee Hatley. Hatley was explaining that if Nurmagomedov was in the bottom position and wanted to be stood up, he had to stall the action. However, Nurmagomedov wasn’t very keen on listening to the rest of the instructions as he was confident that he would finish Davis.
A Man of His Word
“I’m gonna finish him,” Nurmagomedov said.
Hatley replied: “Yeah, good, make my job easy.”
However, Hatley did his duty by imparting the complete set of instructions to Nurmagomedov. Nurmagomedov kept his promise by finishing Davis to mark his second successful title defense. Meanwhile, the loss marked the end of a three-fight winning streak for Davis.
