Unbeaten Khaybulaev faces in-form Adjoudj at PFL Dubai on November 14

Two-time PFL featherweight tournament champion Movlid Khaybulaev will put his perfect record on the line against in-form Asael Adjoudj at PFL Dubai on November 14 at Coca-Cola Arena in the United Arab Emirates. The Professional Fighters League announced the featherweight matchup on social media on Thursday.

Khaybulaev enters the bout with 24 victories and one draw to his name, making him one of the most accomplished unbeaten fighters in the featherweight division. The Russian claimed the PFL featherweight tournament title in 2021 and most recently submitted Jesus Pinedo in the 2025 PFL World Tournament final, a run that also included wins over Tae Kyun Kim, Jeremy Kennedy, Tyler Diamond, Ryoji Kudo, and Chris Wade.

Adjoudj arrives on the back of three straight victories under the PFL banner. His most recent performance saw him stop Keisuke Sasu with a second-round head kick and follow-up punches in May, lifting his professional record to 11-1. He has accumulated four knockouts and two submissions among his wins, with his sole defeat coming against Constantin Blanita back in 2020.

The featherweight clash adds significant weight to a card already headlined by Vadim Nemkov taking on Sergey Bilostenniy for the PFL heavyweight championship. PFL’s return to Dubai shapes up as one of the promotion’s most competitive events of the year, with Khaybulaev’s unblemished record meeting its stiffest recent test in a fighter who has looked increasingly dangerous with each outing.
