Magomed Umalatov made his case for the PFL playoffs, and he did so in violent fashion.
On Friday night at PFL 6, Umalatov faced Jarrah Al-Silawi in a welterweight bout and needed a first-round finish to have a chance to make the 2022 playoffs.
And boy, did he deliver in the PFL 6 main card opener.
After hurting Al-Silawi with a short backfist, Umalatov chased his retreating opponent down and delivered a devastating right hand to turn the lights out. The win was Umalatov’s third inside the PFL cage and moved him to 12-0 in his professional MMA record.
Below, Umalatov’s vile KO.
WALK ON KO FOR PRINCE!!
