Adam Guillen has been writing (and translating) for MMAmania.com since 2011, covering the latest UFC, Bellator, PFL and other mixed martial arts (MMA) news and latest happenings throughout the combat sports world.

Professional Fighters League (PFL) will stage its first event of 2025 TODAY (Sat., Jan. 25) inside Coca-Cola Arena in Dubai, United Arab Emirates, featuring a five-round Lightweight title fight between division ruler, Usman Nurmagomedov, taking on Paul Hughes. In the co-main event of the evening, Vadim Nemkov will face off against long-time veteran, Tim Johnson, in a Heavyweight showdown.

Many readers check in before, during and after the fights to share their thoughts on all of the action, which will begin at 11 a.m. ET streaming on Max, while European fans can see it on DAZN. Feel free to leave a comment (or several) about the bouts and chat with all the other Maniacs during the show -- it's always a lot of fun!
