Paul Hughes and Usman Nurmagomedov: tension rising before the fight

Famous Irish MMA fighter Paul Hughes recently shared his thoughts about the conflict with PFL champion Usman Nurmagomedov and his team. According to him, time will show the situation before the fight, but he always tries to treat his opponents with respect.

«My style is an approach based on respect. But if someone attacks me, be sure it will not go unanswered. You could see the proof of this in the situation with Usman’s manager. He sent me several rude tweets. If someone tries to insult an Irishman, rest assured, there will definitely be an appropriate response», Hughes told "MMA Junkie".

The much-anticipated rematch between Paul Hughes (14-2) and Usman Nurmagomedov (19-0-1 N/C) is scheduled for October 3. Fans are eagerly waiting for this clash.

Expectations are that both fighters are fully ready to show their strength inside the cage, and the tension before the fight makes this event even more significant in the sports world. Thus, the upcoming octagon battle is not only about revenge but also about pride and honor.
