The Professional Fighters League (PFL) is returning to the Coca-Cola Arena in Dubai for its third major event, PFL: Road to Dubai, on Saturday, February 7, 2026. The blockbuster card will be headlined by undefeated PFL Lightweight World Champion Usman Nurmagomedov, who makes his first title defence against the dangerous 2025 PFL Tournament Champion, Alfie “The Axe Man” Davis.
This event marks Nurmagomedov’s third headlining appearance in Dubai, solidifying his star power in the region. The undefeated phenom (20-0), who trains under the guidance of his legendary cousin Khabib, is fresh off two decisive victories over Ireland’s Paul Hughes. He now faces a fresh challenge in Alfie Davis, a fighter who has repeatedly defied the odds.
Davis (20-5-1) enters the title fight on the back of a spectacular 2025 tournament run, where he defeated the betting favourite in all three of his bouts to claim the championship and a $500,000 prize. In a bold statement, he defeated Nurmagomedov’s teammate, Gadzhi Rabadanov, in the tournament final. Known for his unpredictable, karate-based style, Davis possesses fight-ending power, famously winning with spinning elbows and the spectacular axe kicks that earned him his nickname.
Tickets for the event will go on general sale at 12:00 PM GST on Monday, November 24, via coca-cola-arena.com. Fans can register for an exclusive 72-hour pre-sale, which is now open at pfl.info/ccapresale.
