Brandon Sayles (6-1) took out Mohammed Usman, brother of UFC welterweight champion Kamaru Usman, with a second-round rear-naked choke in May.

Ali Isaev (9-0), who won the 2019 heavyweight season, was not medically cleared to fight and is off next week’s 2021 PFL 6 card, the promotion announced Thursday. Isaev didn’t fight at PFL 3 in May when he was ruled out the week of the event. Isaev was set to take on Renan Ferreira (6-2). Instead, Ferreira now will take on alternate Stuart Austin (15-6) on the preliminary card.

In the main event, former UFC champ Fabricio Werdum (24-10-1) made his promotional debut, which ended with a TKO loss to Renan Ferreira (7-2) in controversial fashion after video replays showed referee Keith Peterson missed Ferreira tapping out while in a triangle choke. In the co-headliner, 2019 PFL champ Kayla Harrison (9-0) needed only 83 seconds to take out Mariana Morais (16-11)

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.
