Professional Fighters League lightweight champion Usman
Nurmagomedov’s latest title defense is now official following
the
PFL New York weigh-ins.

The PFL New York main event will see Nurmagomedov (21-0, 1 NC) put
his belt on the line against Archie
Colgan. Both men had no trouble making championship weight, so
the five-round fight will proceed. All other fighters made weight
for the event, although we are still awaiting results for Khabib
Nabiev and Jamelle
Jones.

The 28-year-old Nurmagomedov is widely regarded as the PFL’s best
fighter. The undefeated lightweight champion previously held
Bellator’s belt since 2022 and won the inaugural PFL lightweight
championship against Paul Hughes
last year. This marks his second title defense as he recently
submitted Alfie Davis
to retain the title. The American Kickboxing Academy product
weighed in at 154.8 pounds.

Looking to pull off a major upset is the undefeated Colgan (13-0).
2-0 inside the promotion, Colgan outpointed Mansour
Barnaoui and Jay-Jay
Wilson in his most recent fights. The 31-year-old has never
tasted defeat and previously went 8-0 inside Bellator MMA. „King“
stepped on the scale weighing 154.8 pounds for the biggest fight of
his career.

PFL New York will air live on ESPN on Friday. Prelims begin at 4
p.m. ET/1 p.m. PT on the ESPN app before moving to ESPN at 7 p.m.
ET/4 p.m. PT.
