We’re back on The Sheehan Show to preview PFL’s return to Dubai, headlined by Vadim Nemkov defending his heavyweight world title against Sergey Bilostenniy.
The main event brings together two fighters with connections to Fedor Emelianenko and Team Fedor. Nemkov combines a strong sambo background with dangerous submissions and finishing ability. Bilostenniy has earned his opportunity with victories over former PFL champion Renan Ferreira and Karl Williams. Can he build on those performances and take the title from one of the promotion’s most accomplished fighters?
In the co-main event, undefeated Belgian prospect Patrick Habirora faces Omar El Dafrawy, the inaugural PFL MENA welterweight champion. Habirora has impressed with his finishing ability, but El Dafrawy’s experience makes this a significant test.
Elsewhere, Sergio Pettis takes on Japanese veteran Joji Goto, while Oleg Popov meets undefeated heavyweight Pouya Rahmani. The card also features familiar names including Shem Rock,
