Following an exciting night of action on ESPN+ and DAZN, ten new champions were crowned.
In the main event, Timur Khizriev (18-0) coasted to a unanimous decision win against 2023 PFL Featherweight Champion Brendan Loughnane (30-6). It was ultimately Khizriev's world-class grappling and pace that was the difference, as Khizriev became the fourth Russian PFL athlete to win a Championship in 2024.
The co-main event saw the culmination of Dakota Ditcheva's (14-0) meteoric rise to top of the sport, as the former PFL Europe Champion finished former UFC title challenger Talia Santos (22-4) and laid claim to the 2024 PFL Women's Flyweight Championship. It was a perfect season for the 26-year-old, who finished all four of her opponents en route to the title.
