Justin Wetzell scored a massive upset at the PFL World Tournament on Friday night, defeating the heavily favored Russian standout Kasum Kasumov.
Much of the opening round was a back-and-forth battle in the clinch with Wetzell pressing Kusamov against the fence on more than one occasion. With less than 30 seconds to go, Kasumov finally sat down Wetzell with a single leg takedown, but didn’t have enough time to accomplish anything on the mat.
It was more of the same in the second stanza, but this time, it was Wetzell who would score a late takedown against his opponent.
