5 Defining Moments: Rob Wilkinson

Once was not enough for Rob Wilkinson.

On a quest to become a two-time Professional Fighters League champion, the Factory X-trained Australian will lock horns with Dovletdzhan Yagshimuradov when their light heavyweight semifinal serves as the PFL 8 co-headliner on Aug. 16 at the Seminole Hard Rock Hotel and Casino in Hollywood, Florida. Wilkinson, 32, qualified for the playoffs with a technical knockout of Tom Breese in April and a split decision over Joshua Silveira two months later. He has yet to lose through seven appearances in the PFL.
