Usman Nurmagomedov is the PFL lightweight champion.
He won the inaugural PFL lightweight title against Paul Hughes at PFL Champions Series 3 on October 3, 2025. He defended it with a third-round submission of Alfie Davis on February 7, 2026, and a first-round knockout of Archie Colgan on July 31, 2026.
The no contest is Brent Primus at Bellator 300 on October 7, 2023. The result was overturned after a positive drug test. Before the PFL belt, he won the Bellator lightweight title against Patricky Pitbull at Bellator 288 on November 18, 2022.
He fights out of Makhachkala, and PFL lists his camp as the Abdulmanap Nurmagomedov MMA School.
