Pukeworthy beyond the main event (and maybe seeing Nemkov get his final PFLator win before sailing off to Russia or the UFC)

Main event is probably the best fight they can make in the promotion

I'm actually a fan of this main card (very high on Ibragimov and Khavalov), prelims do nothing for me though. Main event in particular I'm pretty excited for. I want to say I don't think Hughes has a shot but I thought that when he fought McKee so maybe he proves me wrong again. I also don't like how Usman has been overlooking him in the build up to this fight. Would be crazy if him and Umar lost in back to back weeks
