Paul Hughes is set to headline on Saturday at Coca-Cola Arena in Dubai, United Arab Emirates. Hughes steps back into the spotlight with a seven-fight winning streak in tow. The former titleholder last saw action at PFL Super Fights “Battle of the Giants,” where he was awarded a split decision over Askar Askarov.
As Hughes makes final preparations for his “Road to Dubai” main event opposite Nurmagomedov, here are five things you might not know about him:Hughes was born on March 27, 1997 in Sydney—a whopping 10,628 miles from his current base of operations—but grew up in Lavey, Northern Ireland. “Big News” made his professional MMA debut at the age of 19, when he needed just 92 seconds to put away his first opponent on Feb. 24, 2017. Hughes finished his first six opponents, four of them inside one round, and established himself as one of Europe’s top prospects in short order.Hughes suffered his first setback at Cage Warriors 119, where he wound up on the wrong side of split scorecards against Vucenic. A little less than two years later, he took a unanimous decision from Vucenic in their Cage Warriors 145 rematch, cementing himself as the superior fighter. Hughes then captured the Cage Warriors Featherweight title in 2020, defeating Jamie Blanch via unanimous decision. Hughes held the title for less than a year before he decided to move up to 155 pounds. He has since competed in the PFL, showcasing his skills against top contenders in the lightweight division.
