By The Numbers: Shamil Musaev vs. Murad Ramazanov

Stars aligned for Murad Ramazanov, who gets a rare short-order do-over in mixed martial arts.

Ramazanov will take on Shamil Musaev for the second time in less than two months when their Professional Fighters League welterweight semifinal serves as one of the anchors for PFL 9 this Friday at The Anthem in Washington, D.C. Musaev, the No. 1 seed at 170 pounds, won their regular-season meeting in convincing fashion on June 28, when he wiped out of his fellow Russian with punches in the second round of their PFL 6 pairing. The setback was Ramazanov’s first in 13 pro assignments.
