Seeking to rebound after a tight majority decision defeat to former Bellator lightweight king Usman Nurmagomedov, Hughes returns to the forefront of the PFL’s 155-lb division fighting in front of his adoptive city of Belfast. Eager for a second chance against the undefeated Dagestani, “Big News” is looking to make a big statement in his matchup with the Brazilian.
