Makhackala native, Timur Khizriev can call himself the PFL featherweight tournament winner tonight in Saudi Arabia — landing a one-sided unanimous decision win over a bloodied former tournament victor, Brendan Loughnane in their main event clash at the PFL World Championships.
Khizriev, an alum of Bellator MMA and a four-fight feature under the banner of PFL, made his way to a final bracket against Manchester favorite, Loughnane courtesy of a split decision win over Gabriel Alves Braga back in August of this annum.
And taking on Loughnane — who previously minted himself a $1,000,000 richer in a PFL featherweight tournament win, Khizriev looked incredibly sharp in all aspects of his game tonight, taking down Loughnane on cue when the opportunity presented itself.
