PFL Road to Dubai Champion Series is off to a brutal start.

On Saturday the PFL held its first event of 2025 with the Road to Dubai Champion Series, headlined by a lightweight title fighter between Usman Nurmagomedov and Paul Hughes. However, before any of that goes down, the first professional bout of the evening was a middleweight contest between Haider Khan and Mostafa Nada, where a brutal injury took place.

In the opening round, Khan marched Nada around the cage, repeatedly landing kicks and punches until, just over three minutes into the round, the bout abruptly ended when Nada down-blocked a body kick only to have his left arm snap clean in half. Nada immediately moved away and tried to reset his arm in place as it dangled limply down, while Khan and the referee quickly recognized what happened and the bout was stopped.
