One week after Gregory “Robocop” Rodrigues made a strong case for Knockout of the Year, Gustavo Oliveira made a case of his own in his knockout win over Anas Azizoun at PFL Brussels.
As a result of his win, Oliveira moves on in this year’s PFL Europe bantamweight tournament.
Oliveira and Azizoun both came out aggressive, with Oliveira trying to press the action, including a left hook that briefly dropped Azizoun. The fight would return to the feet, and Azizoun battled back with strong combinations.
Oliveira then landed a spinning backfist that dropped Azizoun out cold for a highlight finish.
