00:00As we get Dagestan versus Ireland as they're building this card up as you see from the graphic
00:06There are a bunch of fights at the top where you have the Dagestani Russian fighters versus Irish fighters
00:12So it's gonna be very interesting to see how this goes down who gets the better of the battles here
00:17you know, of course the legendary battle between a
00:20Different normal going of and Conor McGregor with could be of course in the UFC is kind of what they're playing off here
00:26Now as you have another Nurmagomedov coming in here as a champion Usman the former Bellator champion
00:32Coming in there against the new face of some of the Irish MMA and Paul Hughes. That is the lightweight main event
00:40Title fight I believe we don't know for sure. Of course, Nurmagomedov was the Bellator champ
00:44He hasn't been given a PFL belt yet. Do we know if this is for a PFL belt?
00:47Maybe we'll find that out on Saturday if they give something out there or if these guys have to go into a tournament format
00:52And I try to battle it out to try to get that strap all that is details that we will be finding out
00:57hopefully starting Saturday and in the coming weeks, but
01:01As we said Usman Nurmagomedov the champion Hughes 13 and 1 in MMA gonna be trying to give him his first loss
01:08to an own the PFL
01:1027 year old from Ireland as most of his wins by KO and TKO
01:14First beat Bobby King and Bellator champion series in June then AJ McKee by split decision on the Battle of Giants pay-per-view in October
01:20Number government have undefeated 18 and oh the cousin of Khabib Nurmagomedov
01:25He got one no contest 7 and 0 with one no contest in Bellator that no contest was
01:30The battle against Primus which was a win for him, but was overturned because of something in his drug testing later on
01:38Dagestani Russian, of course coming in here with eight wins by KO six by submission a guy who has wins against Primus
01:45Benson Henderson Patriki pitbull. He is a tough dude. He has coming in there with a well-rounded game overall
01:52While we've seen of course have even some of his guys that he is coach have more of the ground game
01:57And that's just their focus. He's more well-rounded. He could do both
01:59We're seeing that evolution of these Dagestani fighters, and I think that makes him more dangerous. He was a tough guy
02:05You know, we've seen both these guys show up in Dubai already earlier this week. They're ready to go
02:09We've seen the trash talking back and forth for me
02:12If I'm picking this one if I'm looking at obviously the odds favoring Nurmagomedov big-time minus
02:16455 plus 350 as far as the money line goes
02:19I like Nurmagomedov you want to find a different way, you know when the odds come out for the different profits
02:24I like him maybe kind of the double play with the submission or decision
02:28I don't think he's gonna knock out Hughes despite that he's done before we've seen how tough this Irishman is and he uses
02:33That grappling game to try to neutralize some of his opponents like he's against McKee
02:37So I think we can see a lot of ground attacking this one and I'm gonna lean more towards decision
02:41But I'm gonna play it both ways
02:42You know
02:43Maybe a double play if you get it in order to cover both bases as Nurmagomedov I believe stays undefeated
