PFL 10′s Bruno Santos credits new outlook for return to winning ways

BAD MMA News — Fri, 19 Oct 2018 14:33:00 +0000

Bruno Santos didn’t have an easy go of it when he was in the UFC for three fights. The Brazilian went just 1-2, and his one win was a split decision. After a loss to Elias Theodorou four years ago, he found himself looking for work. Santos caught on with WSOF a couple years later, and when that promotion morphed into the PFL, he had what had the potential to amount to the biggest opportunity of his career. Saturday, Santos starts his middleweight playoff run at PFL 10, which takes place at St

Ray Cooper III proved his breakthrough victory against Jake Shields in the PFL welterweight season opener was no fluke when he steamrolled Pavel Kusch just seconds into Thursday’s PFL 6 headliner. Cooper III (14-4) put himself in a prominent position in the 170-pound season standings with an 18-second knockout of Kusch (23-5) in the NBCSN-televised headliner at Ocean Resort Casino in Atlantic City, N.J. After picking up five points with his upset of Shields at PFL 3 in July, Cooper came back just five weeks later to earn six points in what was arguably an even more impressive performance against Kusch. Cooper III came out on fire as he rocked Kusch with a hard shot that put him on the defensive. Once Cooper III smelled blood, he pursued his opponent with bad intentions. He put Kusch down with flurry of punches that caused referee Keith Peterson to step in just 18 seconds after the fight began

Ray Cooper III headlined the PFL 3 card in July, but it’s safe to say that most fans were interested in Cooper’s opponent at that event. Cooper faced two-time WSOF title challenger Jake Shields and blasted through Shields that night in Washington D.C. He stopped Shields in the second round via strikes. Thursday, Cooper headlines PFL 6, and the odds are good that fans will be tuning in to see what he can do in his second regular-season bout.
