Thursday morning saw the full card weigh in for the PFL Champions Series: Road to Dubai – The Rematch, set to be headlined by Usman Nurmagomedov and Paul Hughes.

Nurmagomedov and Hughes first met earlier this year, with Northern Ireland’s Hughes giving the undefeated lightweight champion his toughest test to date. Having made quick work of Gabriel Braga since then, Hughes has earned himself another shot at Nurmagomedov, with the champ’s old Bellator title being replaced by the PFL Champions Series belt.

Another PFL world title will be on the line, when Corey Anderson faces Dovlet Yagshimuradov for 205lb gold.

Full results from today’s weigh-in can be found below.
