Usman Nurmagomedov finishes PFL contract, UFC move likely imminent

Usman Nurmagomedov completed his contract with PFL with a dramatic TKO victory over Archie Colgan. With free agency approaching, he is considered the top target for the UFC after his successful run in PFL, where he established himself as a key figure in the organization's expansion into the Middle East. PFL CEO John Martin stated negotiations are ongoing and emphasized they want to retain Nurmagomedov, who has effectively cleared out the lightweight division. The outcome of his potential move to the UFC could have significant implications for PFL's future in that market.
