2021 PFL 2 video: 2019 champ Ray Cooper III chokes out Jason Ponet
It looked like Jason Ponet may have found an early way to keep Ray Cooper III under control in their 2021 PFL 2 co-main event.
Then standout wrestler Cooper (21-7-1) got tired of Ponet (20-13-1) trying to knee him in the midsection. He picked him up for a big slam takedown, and from there, it was academic.
Cooper, the PFL’s 2019 welterweight season winner, worked for an arm-triangle choke, secured it, and before long the Frenchman was out cold. Cooper picked up a crucial six points in the regular season standings for the first-round finish.
Check out Cooper’s finish in the video below from Ocean Casino Resort in Atlantic City, N.J.
