Turkmen mixed martial arts fighter Dovletjan Yagshymyradov has wrapped up preparations for his upcoming Professional Fighters League bout, facing off with British athlete Simeon Powell in a traditional ceremonial face-off. The light heavyweight fight will take place at the Bojangles Coliseum in Charlotte, USA, as part of the main card of PFL Charlotte.
The matchup was originally scheduled to take place in New York, but was rescheduled after the local athletic commission temporarily withheld medical clearance for the British fighter following a recent surgery. Yagshimuradov holds a professional record of 26 wins, 8 losses, and 1 draw, while Powell’s record stands at 12 wins and 2 losses.
Live coverage of the main card will be broadcast on ESPN, while fans in Turkmenistan can stream the fight live on the Belet digital platform.
The fight is scheduled to begin on August 8 at approximately 8:30 AM Ashgabat time.
