Amru Magomedov has arrived.
During PFL: Road to Dubai on Saturday, Magomedov (10-0) only needed 37 seconds to finish his promotional debut as he totally wrecked Kolton Englund for a quick TKO stoppage. The lightweight fight served as the featured prelim Saturday at Coca-Cola Arena in Dubai, United Arab Emirates.

Magomedov landed a big high kick that appeared to be blocked by Englund (15-5). Despite it not landing, Englund seemed shaken by the blow. Magomedov swarmed him and put him away with punches.
Magomedov, 26, was regarded by some as one of the best prospects in MMA not signed to a major promotion prior to his PFL signing. He was the UAE Warriors champion and is a current member of Khabib Nurmagomedov’s team.
