Bellator lightweight title challenger Paul Hughes made a bold statement ahead of his bout with champion Usman Nurmagomedov.

The Irishman and the Dagestani will fight on January 15 at the PFL Champions Series tournament in Dubai, UAE.

"I think, to be perfectly honest, I think I'm going to make the fight with Usman look easy from the outside. At some point, Nurmagomedov will 100% pass out, no question about it," Hughes was quoted as saying by The Sports Rush.
