Undefeated PFL lightweight champion Usman Nurmagomedov is heading into the last bout of his current deal when he meets Archie Colgan in the main event of PFL Long Island on July 31.
Nurmagomedov (21-0) will put his perfect record on the line against the likewise unbeaten Colgan (13-0) at UBS Arena in Belmont Park, N.Y., in what will fulfill the final fight on his contract.
"I did already 12 fights in Bellator and PFL and I'm very thankful for that," Nurmagomedov said while discussing his situation.
He made it clear he has not signed a new agreement yet. "I love it. We have really good relationship with the team from PFL. I don't know what's going to happen next. If we talk about today, I didn't sign nothing. I have one fight left – this fight. Then we'll see."
Nurmagomedov said he is open to remaining with the promotion and expects his manager to handle what comes next. "I don't have any problem to stay with PFL. I love PFL and let's see. Let's see if I will show my best performance. I think a lot of people will be interested in me. First of all, it's going to be PFL. I cannot say something now because this is Ali's job. I think he's going to figure it out. ... I will go out and do my job and if somebody going to pay me good money, we will stay there."
