This one is not for the squeamish, as the first bout of the PFL Road to Dubai Champions Series ended in the first round due to a nasty injury.
Haider Khan took on Mostafa Nada in a middleweight bout to start the 10-fight card at the Coca-Cola Arena in Dubai. However, things came to a screeching halt in the first round when Khan (9-1) caused a nasty injury to Nada (9-4) at 3:18 of the first round to end the fight via TKO.
Khan unleashed a powerful kick to the midsection. Nada brought her left arm back to block it, but her arm broke on impact. Nada looked ready to continue the fight, but he noticed his arm bending in a direction it wasn’t supposed to. He calmly reported to the referee that his arm was broken, immediately ending the fight.

Khan immediately began celebrating his victory, extending his current winning streak to five. Coincidentally, this result ended Nada’s winning streak at the same number.
