There’s a chance Chris Wade needed a finish entering PFL 5 in order to advance to the Professional Fighters League postseason. However, the Long Islander took no risks Thursday night.
Wade vs. Kawana
As soon as the bell rang, he stormed across the cage with a flying left kick to the side of Yuki Kawana’s head. The kick dropped Kawana, and Wade pounced on him for a tight guillotine attempt. Kawana escaped and shortly reversed the grappling position on Wade. Towards the final minute of the first round, Wade regained control on a tiring Kawana and tried for another guillotine.
