This is a gorgeous combination, Yusupov really sprung into that uppercut with surprising quickness. Magalhaes was caught completely off-guard!
One of Russia’s top young light heavies is headed to the semis, as Rashid Yusupov (12-2) faceplants Vinny Magalhães with a beautiful low kick, uppercut, and cross combo! With this first-round finish, the former M-1 champ owns six pro knockouts. #PFLPlayoffs pic.twitter.com/zugU7BSZqY

Two finishes in one night!
Emiliano Sordi (21-8) takes his trilogy with Bozigit Ataev and makes the LHW finals, latching onto the Dagestani’s back in a scramble and applying a first-round RNC! Argentina’s “He-Man” has won four straight and stopped each of his triumphs, 16 in round one. #PFLPlayoffs pic.twitter.com/0fDzTMAXf5

Unpopular fighter opinion: I’d much rather cut weight through Thanksgiving or Christmas than Halloween. I love all candy so much.
Here’s a map of each state’s favorite Halloween candy by Google search.
Some notes:
Colorado, Wyoming and Illinois know what’s up.
Florida, Texas, Nevada, Hawaii, Rhode Island and NY = basic af
Montana and Vermont still living in the ’50s
