The evening’s main event featured a strategic battle between Andrey Koreshkov and Magomed Umalatov in a highly anticipated Welterweight bout.

Musaev put on an impressive display and dispatched Storley in the 2nd round via KO. The result improved Musaev’s record to 17-0-1 with 10 wins by KO, and earned five points in the division. 2023 PFL Featherweight Runner-Up Gabrial Braga unleashed a flurry of strikes against Justin Gonzalez resulting in an emotional 1st round knockout and six points. Braga dedicated the victory to his father, Diego, whom he lost in January.

Andrey Koreshkov had been an integral part of the Bellator welterweight division since signing with them in 2012 after winning amateur gold. Koreshkov lost his first title shot against Ben Askren in 2013 but won the championship with a win over Douglas Lima two years later. He held the title for about a year before dropping the gold back to Lima. A Master of Sport in Army Combat Fighting, the former two-time Bellator Welterweight Tournament Champion has scored finishes in two-thirds of his victories. Koreshkov enters tonight on a five-fight win streak, most recently defeating Lorenz Larkin via split decision in July.

Magomed Umalatov has made a name for himself in his first two seasons with the PFL, but he’s been stopped from participating in the playoffs both times in spite of being undefeated. The 14-0 Umalatov scored a first-round knockout of Jarrah Al-Silawi in 2022 but visa issues prevented him from participating in the postseason. Umalatov knocked out Dilano Taylor and earned a decision over Nayib Lopez in 2023 but was forced to withdraw from the semifinals due to injury. Can this be the year Umalatov finally captures PFL gold?

Which veteran will take their momentum and use it to take a first step toward this year’s PFL welterweight championship?

Round 2
