Getting the call to enter the second round of the Professional Fighters League Regular Season on two weeks’ notice was not exactly ideal, but that’s just the way it goes for Tim Johnson. The former Bellator MMA heavyweight champ and Ultimate Fighting Championship veteran made his PFL debut with a short-notice call to take on Danilo Marques in one of the wildest one-round fights in 2024.
By rallying to knock out Marques in the same round after being on the wrong end of a low blow, Johnson not only won but also secured a playoff spot.
