“The Lazy King” impressed in his PFL debut. A former two-division ARES FC champion, Abdouraguimov made quick work of Brad Wheeler when he submitted him in Round 1 of the of PFL Europe 3 co-main event this past September. After the fight, Abdouraguimov stated his intentions of dropping down to lightweight for his next fight, but he appears to be sticking to 170 pounds for now.
England’s Grant has won three of his past four bouts. A Cage Warriors and Bellator alum, Grant returned from a more than two-year layoff to submit Ahmad Labban at BRAVE FC 80 in December. His most recent loss came to rising UFC welterweight contender Ian Machado Garry in June 2021.
