The co-main event also featured another undefeated talent in last year’s PFL Europe Women’s Flyweight Champion Dakota Ditcheva, who stopped former UFC title challenger Taila Santos with a nasty body shot to score the biggest win of her career.

Dovlet Yagshimuradov spoiled Impa Kasanganay's hopes of winning back-to-back tournaments in the light heavyweight finals, and Shamil Musaev also claimed welterweight gold when he stopped his countryman Magomed Umalatov.
