The card opener of the PFL Road To Dubai Champions Series ended in the first round due to a kick landed by Haider Khan which broke Mostafa Rashed Nada's left arm. Khan who is from the United Kingdom and had recently signed with the PFL landed a perfectly placed front kick on Nada's forearm which caused a brutal arm break. The injury resulted in Khan winning his PFL debut and starting the card with a bang for the promotion. The pay-per-view is being headlined by Usman Nurmagomdeov who will face Paul Hughes.
In a video posted on X which showed the kick and brutal injury it caused, many fans shared their reactions. One of them wrote:

Usman Nurmagomdeov gives his take on Umar Nurmagomedov's defeat affecting his upcoming title fight
Bellator lightweight champion Usman Nurmagomedov is among the top acquisitions for the PFL after it acquired Bellator in 2023. Nurmagomedov is set to defend his title against Paul Hughes at the PFL Road To Dubai Champions Series. A major talking point in the lead-up to the fight has been Umar Nurmagomedov's loss to Merab Dvalishvili at UFC 311, where the Russian failed to capture the bantamweight gold.
Usman, Umar's younger brother speaking to TalkSport MMA, confirmed that he won't let the result affect his performance. He acknowledged it was hard to watch his brother lose but asserted he would beat Hughes. He said:
"It was tough time, hard time for me. But we agree with what happens with us. Doesn't matter -- good stuff, bad stuff. Alhamdulillah. It [didn't] make me weak ... It's made me more mentally strong. And I have to win this, my fight."
