The fight, which took place on Thursday, culminated in a head kick reminiscent of the style of his older brother, Leon Edwards, who won a UFC championship three years ago.\n\nEdwards, with a record of 16-4, connected with a head kick at 1:28 of the third round, leaving Rosta (11-2) knocked out. The similarity to the blow Leon dealt to Kamaru Usman at UFC 278 on August 20, 2022, was undeniable, marking an iconic moment in the history of the sport.\n\nThe main event of the night in Hollywood, Florida, awarded Edwards, 32, the $500,000 PFL tournament prize. This victory represents redemption for Edwards, who was seeking the championship after two failed attempts in Bellator.\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/a1.espncdn.com\/combiner\/i?img=%2Fphoto%2F2025%2F0822%2Fr1535047_1296x729_16%2D9.jpg\" alt=\"Fabian Edwards noquea a Dalton Rosta\" title=\"\"><figcaption>Fabian Edwards celebra su victoria sobre Dalton Rosta.
