Magomed Umalatov showcased his undefeated record once again in the PFL SmartCage, as he dominated Andrey Koreshkov in the main event of PFL 3. With a record of 15-0, Umalatov proved his worth by earning a unanimous decision win with all three judges scoring the bout in his favor 29-28. This victory not only extends his undefeated streak but also solidifies his position as a force to be reckoned with in the welterweight division.
Despite his impressive performance, Umalatov has faced challenges in the past that hindered his participation in the PFL playoffs. Visa issues have prevented him from showcasing his skills on the grand stage, but his recent win over Koreshkov suggests that he is more than capable of competing at the highest level. With three finishes under the PFL banner, Umalatov has proven that he has what it takes to succeed in the organization.
The win over Koreshkov, a former Bellator MMA welterweight champion, is undoubtedly the most significant victory of Umalatov’s career. Koreshkov, who had won five fights in a row prior to this bout, was seen as a formidable opponent. However, Umalatov’s performance has not only elevated his status in the welterweight division but has also garnered him three crucial points in the PFL 2024 standings.

As the competition heats up in the PFL 2024 season, Umalatov will be looking to maintain his undefeated record and secure a spot in the playoffs. The upcoming second round of the regular season will provide him with another opportunity to showcase his skills and further solidify his position as a top contender in the welterweight division.
Magomed Umalatov’s dominating performance against Andrey Koreshkov has not only extended his undefeated streak but has also established him as a rising star in the PFL welterweight division.
