Sergio Pettis won his fight against Magomed Magomedov on Friday in Dubai with an incredible knockout using his elbow.
Magomedov leaped at Pettis late in the second round of their bantamweight fight at their PFL Champions Series 3 fight at Dubai for a superman punch attempt. Pettis turned his body to shade himself from the punch attempt. Then he threw a no-look left elbow that nailed Magomedov in the head.
Magomedov hit the mat immediately, and Pettis reached down to throw a vicious right-handed punch to the chin before the fight was waved off.
