Magomed Umalatov made a statement in his 2022 PFL season debut Friday when he flattened Jarrah Al-Silawi and added another knockout to the reel.
At 2022 PFL 6, Umalatov (12-0) finished Al-Silawi (18-4) with a violent combination of punches at 3:33 of Round 1. The win earned him six points in the welterweight standings. The event took place at Overtime Elite Arena in Atlanta.
The finishing sequence started out with a beautifully sneaky backfist from Umalatov, which put Al-Silawi on roller skates. As Al-Silawi backpedaled, he was unable to avoid a swarm from Umalatov. A violent overhand right folded Al-Silawi, as his stiffened body crashed to the canvas. Al-Silawi was down for quite some time, but was able to stand for the official decision under his own power.
