"Sergio Pettis got the action going in a big way at the PFL Champions Series 3 card in Dubai on Friday. After a mixed bag of decisions on the early card that was snapped by an upset of heavyweight Slim Trabelsi by the little-known Pouya Rahmani, the first couple of main card bouts likewise went to the judges. Pettis, however, had no intention of following suit."
"Pettis, however, had no intention of following suit. Down on the scorecards to Magomed Magomedov, Pettis pulled out the come-from-behind victory late in the second round, firing a spinning back elbow in close that connected flush with the Russian's temple. Magomedov flailed, falling backwards, and a single follow-up strike by Pettis, a former Bellator bantamweight champ and UFC contender, put him out cold."
