Unfortunate turn of events in fight between Sadibou Sy and Nikolai Aleksakhin as fight was declared an No Contest.

PFL 2019 LHW Champion, Emiliano Sordi and former UFC fighter, Chris Camozzi, gave us Fight of the Night in what was a three round war. This was a fight in which every fight fan will enjoy. They both got knockdown, control of round, dominant positions, everything you can see in mixed martial arts fight. Nothing more to add to this fight, except, watch it and you will not regret it.

One very close fight between Zeferino and Tibau, maybe the most non interesting fight of the whole card. Zeferino had adventage in stand up, landed more and had control of the cage. Unanimous decision win and 3 points for Zeferino.
