PFL Dubai now has a title fight at the top of its Nov. 14 card. Sergei Bilostenniy is booked to face Vadim Nemkov for the PFL heavyweight world title at the Coca-Cola Arena, the promotion announced.

The PFL billed the fight as Bilostenniy's return. Nemkov, a 34-year-old Russian, holds the heavyweight spot in the PFL's division listing and goes into the fight as the man Bilostenniy has to beat.

Behind the title bout, the PFL has begun filling out the card. Patrick Habirora will face Omar El Dafrawy in a welterweight matchup. In announcing it, the PFL pointed to Habirora's last outing, a quick finish of Benson Henderson. El Dafrawy, whom the PFL describes as dangerous with his left hand, is looking to keep climbing the welterweight rankings.

Lewis McGrillen is also on the card. The PFL did not name an opponent for him, so his bout is still to be announced.

Watch for the PFL to name McGrillen's opponent and add further bouts to the Dubai card in the coming weeks.
