2024 PFL Playoffs 2′s Rob Wilkinson: Post-PED suspension success removing cloud of ‘big mistake’

BAD MMA News — Tue, 13 Aug 2024 15:06:39 +0000

Rob Wilkinson still feels the shame of being suspended for testing positive for performance-enhancing drugs, but he hopes winning the 2024 PFL Championship will put all that in the past. After winning the 2022 PFL light heavyweight season, Wilkinson (20-2) saw his attempt to go back-to-back end in disgraceful fashion when he was flagged for an elevated testosterone-to-epitestosterone ratio and suspended for nine months. He returned for the 2024 season, and has since put together consecutive victories to get a birth in the playoffs. He will attempt to secure his spot in the $1 million final on Friday, when he takes on Dovletdzhan Yagshimuradov (23-7-1) in a 2024 PFL Playoffs 2 semifinal bout at Hard Rock Live in Hollywood, Fla., and airs on ESPN/ESPN+. Wilkinson, 32, has already had much time to sort through the errors of his ways, and although he’s achieved some degree of redemption by making it this far, he thinks his arch won’t be complete until he’s once again crowned champion
