Summary
Usman Nurmagomedov said his next move will come down to money after ending his contract by stopping Archie Colgan in under four minutes and reclaiming the PFL lightweight title.
Jake Paul entered the cage after the win, and Nurmagomedov used the moment to challenge MVP-PFL to match its criticism of UFC pay with a lucrative offer.
The 28-year-old free agent, now 22-0, said legacy "doesn't pay checks" and called himself an undefeated, undisputed lightweight champion who deserves top compensation.
Nurmagomedov did not commit to MVP-PFL or the UFC, saying he will first consult Khabib Nurmagomedov and his team before deciding his future.
