Hughes is coming off a majority decision defeat to Bellator lightweight champion Usman Nurmagomedov in the PFL Champions Series: Road to Dubai headliner this past January, a fight he thought he won. The loss snapped the 27-year-old’s seven-fight winning streak.

The PFL has announced an exciting main event for PFL Europe Belfast, featuring hometown hero Paul Hughes against Bruno Miranda.

PFL star Paul Hughes now has a target in his sights for later this year, when he has his homecoming fight in Belfast, Northern Ireland.

Paul Hughes will return to the PFL cage in May, fresh off his controversial decision loss to Usman Nurmagomedov in January.
