If you get a first-round finish in a regular-season PFL fight, you earn six points in the standings. Movlid Khaybulaev , apparently, sees little reason to utilize all five minutes of that opening round when he can just get things over with from the jump. Literally. On Thursday night, Khaybulaev set a PFL record for fastest knockout when he nearly decapitated Damon Jackson with a flying knee. The time of the stoppage at Nassau Veterans Memorial Coliseum in Uniondale, N.Y., was just 10 seconds into the opening round

Catching up with defending PFL champion Natan Schulte

BAD MMA News — Thu, 23 May 2019 16:03:40 +0000

Natan Schulte became a freshly minted millionaire during the inaugural season of PFL action, and now he’s coming back for more. The defending lightweight champion kicks off his campaign for back-to-back titles Thursday night at PFL 2019, Week 2, as he meets Bao Yincang on the ESPN+ prelims at Nassau Coliseum in Uniondale, N.Y. MMA Junkie recently caught up with Schulte and talked about last year’s experience and his upcoming fight. Can you talk about coming off a loss, and then going on to win the inaugural million-dollar tournament at the PFL? When I lost to Islam Mamedov at the WSOF, I was pretty sad since I had been on a 10-fight winning streak. I felt I needed to start from scratch to have a chance to get into a promotion like the UFC. When my contract was renewed, after the WSOF become the PFL, I was impressed. They renewed me even though I had just lost.

A few years back, Jackson had an eye on the exit door. He’d fought through the regional circuit to earn a UFC contract, only to lose in his debut opposite Yancy Medeiros.
