Movlid Khaybulaev has achieved the status of two-time PFL champion, winning the PFL Global season in 2021 and the inaugural PFL World Tournament in 2023. He secured his latest title by defeating Jesus Pinedo via submission in the fifth round. After the match, Khabib Nurmagomedov celebrated with Khaybulaev, emphasizing their strong bond. Khaybulaev expressed his happiness for the victory despite facing challenges during the fight. He acknowledged the need to be more active in competition as he ages and reflected on his previous strength during fights.
Going into championship rounds, we had to put everything out. Yes, for me, I had to give all of myself, and I'm very happy with the outcome.
I actually wanted to grab his back and finish him from the back choke, but that didn't work out. And then this one I practiced a lot of times.
I'll be honest, now I start feeling when people say that when fighters age, they're not the same. I'll be very honest, 2021 I felt myself much stronger.
