Sarvarjon Khamidov (MMA) Defeats Rafael do Nascimento in First Round at PFL Chicago

Mixed martial arts fighter Sarvarjon Khamidov secured a first-round victory over Rafael do Nascimento at the PFL Chicago event on October 17, 2026. Khamidov delivered a decisive left hand to drop his opponent, improving his record to 2-1 in the PFL league. Following the win, Khamidov has expressed his desire for a bantamweight title shot.

Khamidov got close to Nascimento right away, trying to cut off the cage. After a few right hands, Khamidov clinched Nascimento against the fence. Nascimento worked his way off the fence and used his reach to land some kicks and get his striking going.

It would all be for naught, however, as Khamidov landed a left hand to drop Nascimento and put him out for the first-round victory.

Khamidov, a veteran of Bellator and UAE Warriors, is now 2-1 in the PFL.
