Usman Nurmagomedov stands near the front of the line when discussing apex predators in the Professional Fighters League.
The undefeated American Kickboxing Academy standout will defend his lightweight championship when he meets Alfie Davis in the PFL Dubai headliner this Saturday at Coca-Cola Arena in Dubai, United Arab Emirates. Nurmagomedov, 27, enters the cage with a perfect 20-0 record. He has rattled off three consecutive victories since his Bellator 300 encounter with Brent Primus resulted in a no contest—it was originally logged as a unanimous decision win—after the Russian tested positive for banned substance related to a prescription drug.
