Usman Nurmagomedov VS Archie Colgan

Usman Nurmagomedov retained the PFL lightweight title by TKO (punches) at 3:42 of round one, handing Archie Colgan the first professional loss of his career at UBS Arena in Elmont, New York. Nurmagomedov established his range in the opening minutes with a sharp jab and body kicks before landing a head kick that put Colgan on the canvas around the two-minute mark. After Colgan regained his feet, Nurmagomedov immediately followed with an uppercut-hook combination that staggered the challenger; the referee waved the contest off as additional punches landed. The win improved Nurmagomedov to 22-0 and marked his second successful lightweight title defense, having previously submitted Alfie Davis via triangle choke at PFL Dubai earlier in the year. The victory came on the final bout of Nurmagomedov's PFL contract, leaving his promotional future open as the organization navigates its announced merger with Most Valuable Promotions.
