Usman Nurmagomedov Free Agency: PFL vs UFC

Usman Nurmagomedov says he rejected a reported $2 million-per-fight PFL offer and is seeking a larger deal while criticizing UFC lightweight rankings and depth. About 63 days reportedly remain in his exclusive negotiation window; Khabib expects talks next month, Daniel Cormier favors a UFC move, and PFL is preparing a competing offer.
