From a betting perspective, Brandon Sayles wasn’t expected to be in the game against Mohammed Usman . But after a competitive first round against the UFC welterweight champion’s brother, Sayles (6-1) choked Usman (7-2) unconscious after a second knockdown in the second at 2021 PFL 3 in Atlantic City, N.J. Usman was as much as a 6-1 favorite in the fight. Sayles and Usman beat on each other for the first five minutes, trading punches and kicks, and neither fighter seemed to really stun the other. Midway through the second, Sayles dropped Usman and tried to put him away on the canvas.
