On Thursday, Aug. 21, the Professional Fighters League hosted PFL World Tournament 10: 2025 Finals, live from the Seminole Hard Rock Hotel & Casino in Hollywood, Fla. The event featured the final three tournament championship bouts of the 2025 season.
In the main event Fabian Edwards weathered two rounds of Dalton Rosa’s wrestling and then delivered a beautiful head kick to knock Rosa out cold. That earned Edwards the PFL middleweight title and the $500,000 check.
In the co-main Oleg Popov and Alexandr Romanov went five hard rounds, mostly on the feet. Popov landed the harder shots throughout and seemed a pretty comfortable winner. However, one scorecard inexplicably ruled in favor for Romanov. Thankfully the other two had Popev as the winner, giving him the heavyweight title.
Before those fights Antonio Carlos Jr. and Sullivan Cauley had a wild fight. Carlos Jr. surprised everyone by putting Cauley down early with his boxing. Cauley then landed a knockdown of his own in that first round, only to run into an upkick that then knocked him down again. They continued brawling in the second round, with Carlos Jr. opening up a nasty cut on Cauley that might have eventually stopped the fight. After a big head kick and a takedown, Carlos Jr. was able to secure the rear naked choke late in the second round. That earned ‘Shoeface’ his second PFL title.
Further down the fight card Impa Kasanganay earned a big KO over Andrew Sanchez and Sergey Bilostenniy KO’d Karl Williams.
