Gadzhi Rabadanov made fast work of former UFC fighter Marc Diakiese on the PFL World Match on Friday evening.
Early within the opening spherical, Diakiese threw a strong physique kick that Rabadanov caught. The Russian countered with two left hooks and a proper hand. None of them landed clear, however the barrage was sufficient to knock Diakiese off stability, sending him crashing to the canvas.
Rabadanov instantly jumped on his man and unleashed an onslaught of strikes, catching Diakiese and placing him to sleep inside a matter of seconds.
Official Outcome: Gadzhi Rabadanov def. Marc Diakiese by way of KO (floor and pound) at 0:32 of Spherical 1.
The defending light-weight world champion advances to the semi-final spherical of the 2025 match with that quick-fire end.
