Magomed Magomedkerimov and Gleison Tibau face off in the preliminaries of PFL 10 in New York. The Russian Magomedkerimov will attempt to earn a massive scalp if he defeats veteran Brazilian Gleison Tibau, an alumnus of UFC and, at 39 years old, may be beginning to think of life after mixed martial arts. PFL 10 will also mark the organisation's first pay-per-view card on ESPN+ PPV. The prelims will be available on ESPN+ from the Hulu Theatre at Madison Square Garden in New York City on the 26th of November, 2022.

Magomed Magomedkerimov
Magomed is 32 years old and has twenty-nine wins and six losses. He has only lost once since joining the Professional Fighting League in 2018. That lone loss was to a knockout punch to American Ray Cooper III in their October 2021 fight. His PFL record stands at an impressive 11-1. He bounced back from that setback with a TKO of Taylor Dillano this past July. “MMK” clobbered Taylor with a brutal right hand and a flying knee, knocking him barely conscious into the cage and prompting the referee to end the fight as “MMK” rained in more punches. Before joining the PFL, Magomedkerimov fought in ACA, MG, and FNG.
