2025 PFL World Tournament 5 video: Jesus Pinedo smokes Gabriel Braga in trilogy bout
2025 PFL World Tournament 5 video: Jesus Pinedo smokes Gabriel Braga in trilogy bout Jesus Pinedo comes to shine in PFL. Thursday at 2025 PFL World Tournament 5, Pinedo (25-6-1) added a trilogy victory to his resume when he wrecked rival Gabriel Braga (16-3) with a knockout combination that ended the bout 1:16 into Round 1. The featherweight tournament semifinal co-headlined the event at Nashville Municipal Auditorium in Nashville, Tenn. A right hand marked the beginning of the end for Braga, who stumbled backward when it hit him in the face. Pinedo sensed his opponent was in danger and leaped in with a hard left that floored Braga. Pinedo pummeled away until the stoppage came. Pinedo wins the trilogy 2-1. After an initial split decision loss in April 2023, Pinedo evened the score in November 2023 when he finished Braga standing with strikes in Round 3 to win that year's championship. With the win, Pinedo extends his winning streak to five. In defeat, Braga has a two-fight winning streak snapped. Up-to-the-minute 2025 PFL 5 results include:

2025 PFL World Tournament 5 video: Magomed Umalatov faceplants Anthony Ivy
Magomed Umalatov reminded everyone why he's considered by many to be one of PFL's pound-for-pound best. Although 2024 was a disappointing campaign for Umalatov (18-5), who was knocked out by Smail Musaev in the tournament final, 2025 is off to a hot start. Thursday at 2025 PFL World Tournament 5 in Nashville, Tenn., Umalatov flattened former UFC fighter Anthony Ivy (15-8) at 2:28 of Round 1. Advertisement The finishing sequence began when Ivy hopped toward Umalatov, who clipped him with a counter left. Somewhat stunned and out of position, Ivy faceplanted when a second Umalatov left hand cracked him. Umalatov is not in the 2025 welterweight tournament. However, the promotion could always insert him as an alternate replacement should they need him. Ivy, who had compiled seven straight wins in an improbable career turnaround, loses for the first time since August 2022. Up-to-the-minute 2025 PFL 5 results include: Magomed Umalatov def. Anthony Ivy via knockout (punches) – Round 1, 2:28 Sarek Shields def. Joseph Luciano via unanimous decision (30-27, 30-27, 30-27) Kendly St. Louis def. Mukhamed Berkhamov via submission (rear-naked choke) – Round 3, 3:21 Alexei Pergande def. Mike Bardsley via unanimous decision (30-27, 30-27, 30-27) Jason Danner def. Nathan Gilmore via unanimous decision (30-27, 30-27, 29-28) This article originally appeared on MMA Junkie: 2025 PFL 5 video: Magomed Umalatov faceplants Anthony Ivy
