ARLINGTON, Texas – If Renan Ferreira wanted to put his name atop the list of heavyweight contenders for Bruno Cappelozza’s throne, consider the job done.
Ferreira (9-2) took out Jamelle Jones (12-8) in just 25 seconds Thursday at the PFL’s second event of the regular season. It was a heavyweight record for the promotion’s fastest finish. Ferreira threw a knee early in the fight, and his shin connected on the left side of Jones’ face and jaw. A few punches on the canvas later, and Ferreira was in the records books.
“There was definitely a game plan,” Ferreira said. “We knew he was going to try to grapple. We knew he was going to try to take me down and wrestle with me. Thank God, everything went on as planned.”
