PFL Road to Dubai Loses Yakub Sulimanov vs. Jarrah Al-Silawi

Professional Fighters League’s first event of 2025 is down one fight.

The promotion announced on Monday that a proposed middleweight clash between Yakub Sulimanov and Jarrah Al-Silawi is off the Road to Dubai card. A reason for the cancellation was not revealed. As a result, Road to Dubai will proceed with 11 bouts and now begins at 11 a.m. ET/8 a.m. PT on Max.

Chechnya’s Sulimanov is unbeaten in eight professional outings, with the majority of his fights coming under the Absolute Championship Akhmat banner. He went 2-0 in 2024 and is coming off a first-round stoppage of Vahid Kord Manjiri at Middle East Fighting Championship 4 last May.

Al-Silawi is a former Brave Combat Federation champion with multiple bouts in the PFL to his credit. Most recently, he suffered a first-round knockout loss against Omar El Dafrawy in a PFL MENA semifinal this past September.

PFL Road to Dubai is headlined by a lightweight title tilt between Usman Nurmagomedov and Paul Hughes. In the co-main event, Vadim Nemkov will square off against Tim Johnson in a heavyweight scrap.
