Oriented on making people closer

Today at the Coca-Cola Arena in Dubai, the title fight for the PFL light heavyweight championship will take place, where Turkmen fighter Dowletjan Yagshimuradov will face American Corey Anderson. This bout will be the centerpiece of the PFL Champions tournament.

For Yagshimuradov, this fight will be a chance to avenge his loss to Anderson. The two first met in April 2021 during the Bellator Grand Prix, where Anderson won by technical knockout in the third round. Now, as the reigning champion, Yagshimuradov is determined not only to get revenge but also to defend his title. "This is not just a rematch – it's a challenge to fate. This time, I enter the cage not as a challenger, but as a champion," Yagshimuradov said.

Anderson, for his part, is confident in his victory. He posted, "It's time to do this again. This time even better than the first."

In addition, several other exciting fights will take place at the PFL Champions Series 3 tournament, including Usman Nurmagomedov facing Paul Hughes for the lightweight title, as well as bouts between Archie Colgan and JJ Wilson, Lewis McGrillen and Kaolan Logran, Magomed Magomedov and Sergio Pettis, Puyya Rahmani and Slim Trabelsi, Zubaira Tukhugov and Artem Lobov, along with other intriguing matchups.

The tournament promises to be a spectacular event, featuring MMA stars from around the world and providing unforgettable moments for mixed martial arts fans. All fights will be available for streaming online through the Belet Premium platform.
