Hughes is coming off a majority decision defeat to Bellator lightweight champion Usman Nurmagomedov in the PFL Champions Series: Road to Dubai headliner this past January, a fight he thought he won. The loss snapped the 27-year-old’s seven-fight winning streak.
Brazil’s Miranda most recently competed in June when he defeated Patricky Freire by split decision in the second round of the 2024 PFL lightweight season. The win snapped a two-fight losing skid.
