2022 PFL Champions Decided

The PFL held the final tournament of the season, in which six league titles and six million dollars were up for grabs.

In the main event of the event, held in New York, Brazilian Larissa Pacheco following the results of five exciting rounds sensationally defeated two-time PFL lightweight champion Kayla Harrison, recording the first American professional defeat in the record.

In the co-main event of the tournament, Briton Brendan Loughnane finished the season with a fourth-round technical knockout of American Bubbu Jenkins, winning the PFL featherweight championship belt and finishing the season with a perfect 4-0 record.

The fate of the PFL heavyweight title was determined by the duel between Matheus Scheffil and Ante Delia, in which the latter won by technical knockout at the end of the third minute of the match and became the first Croatian champion in the history of the organization.

Russian light heavyweight Omari Akhmedov ended the season unsuccessfully, having suffered an early defeat in the title confrontation with Australian Rob Wilkinson. Already in the starting five-minute period, Wilkinson gave Akhmedov serious problems in the standing position, and shortly before the end of the round he shook his opponent with a knee to the jaw, but the Russian was saved by a signal for a break.

In the second round, the Australian fighter began to increase his advantage and managed to inflict a serious cut on his opponent over his right eye, after examining which the doctor insisted that the referee stop the fight during the break.
