However we got here, we can now look forward to a Professional Fighters League welterweight final between the only two men to have won the title.
At PFL 7: 2021 Playoffs on Friday, 2018 welterweight champion Magomed Magomedkerimov and his 2019 successor, Ray Cooper III, punched their tickets to the tournament final with relative ease, setting up a rematch three years in the making. Magomedkerimov’s unanimous three-round sweep of Swedish kickboxer Sadibou Sy came as no great surprise, as Sy had stepped in on just 10 days’ notice for the injured Joao Zeferino and figured to be at a stylistic disadvantage against the former champ.
