00:00Light heavyweight, Input Kasanganai versus Yakshamiradov.
00:07This was a tough one, Kasanganai coming in
00:10as the defending champion.
00:11We talked to him about his great story,
00:13rising up into the PFL and what he's done.
00:16Was a quick fight though for his opponent.
00:18Came very aggressive out of the gates was Kasanganai.
00:22Came out trying to attack Yakshamiradov,
00:23maybe get him off guard, didn't work.
00:26Yakshamiradov caught him with a big right
00:27about 40 seconds in.
00:29Jumps on him, throws some big uppercuts
00:31with the right hand that you see in the replay.
00:33You know, it just swarmed him.
00:36And with less than a minute into the fight,
00:39Yakshamiradov becomes the light heavyweight champion
00:42and plus money too, he was a slight underdog.
00:44So good payday for anybody who bet on him.
00:48Tough loss for him, but that was his first knockout loss
00:50since the one three years ago in the UFC
00:52that sent him on this PFL path.
00:5414th KO for Yakshamiradov.
00:56He is a dangerous man for sure.
00:58Welterweight champion goes to Musaev
01:02who just really picked apart his opponent Umolotov.
01:05Both these guys undefeated.
01:06Umolotov was trying for some takedowns, didn't work.
01:09Tried to get big shots on the feet,
01:11didn't shake his opponent.
01:12And then in the end, you saw the fight IQ of Musaev
01:14in that third round finish that he had.
01:16I mean, he comes in there having felt his opponent out
01:19for two rounds, found the timing, the spots.
01:22Fakes the right hand and once Umolotov
01:24puts up the hands for that,
01:25catches him with a big left hook that drops him.
01:29Just, you know, it's a beautiful thing sometimes
01:31when you can really see these replays slow him down
01:33and you see what the fighter's thinking that,
01:35you know, he knew what the reaction was gonna be
01:36if he went with that right hand.
01:38So just faked it and then caught him in the opening.
01:40Made his opponent pay and gives Umolotov
01:43his first career loss.
01:46Then after that, we also had the championship
01:49for the lightweight title.
01:51Primus, former champion versus Rabotinov.
01:54This was all Rabotinov for the couple rounds
01:56that we saw this one.
01:57Three rounds, he gets the finish there.
01:59In the third round, only the second KO, TKO loss
02:03for Primus in his career.
02:05He just, he dominated him.
02:06He dropped Primus a couple times in the first.
02:07The second round kind of hurt himself
02:09by jumping into the guard of Primus
02:10and letting him try to hold him down and recover
02:12and get some submission attempts.
02:14Did not happen in the third round.
02:16He gets a big left hook that stumbles Primus,
02:18lands a few more jabs.
02:19Primus falls on his face, fight is over.
02:22And then you can't go without talking about the heavyweights.
02:25Gostov pop off, pop off with the early takedown.
02:27Gostov works him for about a minute or two,
02:30trying different submission attempts
02:31with the armbar, the triangle.
02:32Finally lands a triangle and wins by submission
02:35for the first time since 2019
02:37and is the new heavyweight champ.
