The precision and power of this blow recalled the victory of his brother, Leon Edwards, who achieved a similar triumph to win a UFC championship.\n\nThe fight, which took place in Hollywood, Florida, was the main event of the night and marked a crucial moment in Edwards&#8217; career.\n\nThe victory not only granted him the PFL title, but also a prize of $500,000. This triumph represents redemption for Edwards, who had previously faced challenges in Bellator.\n\nIn the event, Oleg Popov, a student of MMA legend Fedor Emelianenko, defeated Alexander Romanov by split decision to obtain his first PFL championship. Antonio Carlos Jr. also shone by achieving his second PFL title, submitting Sullivan Cauley in the second round.\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 celebra su victoria\" title=\"\"><figcaption>Fabian Edwards celebra su victoria<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\nThursday night proved to be a success for the PFL, with exciting fights and memorable performances that captivated MMA fans.","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Fabian Edwards Conquers PFL Middleweight Title with Spectacular KO In a night full of action in the world of mixed martial arts (MMA), Fabian Edwards was crowned champion of the PFL world tournament in the middleweight category, after defeating Dalton Rosta with an impressive knockout in the third round.
