Watch Gadzhi Rabadanov faceplant Brent Primus to win $1 million at PFL Championships

Gadzhi Rabadanov is now a millionaire, and he did it in style.

On Friday at the Mayadeen in Riyadh, Saudi Arabia, Rabadanov won the 2024 PFL lightweight championship with a brutal third-round knockout of former Bellator lightweight champion Brent Primus.

Rabadanov established himself early in the fight with effective grappling and striking that repeatedly rocked Primus, but the former Bellator lightweight champion was able to survive and continue battle. That ended in the third round though as Rabadanov landed a devastating combination of hooks that face-planted Primus and a few follow-up punches sealed the deal, earning Rabadanov the $1 million tournament prize.

Check out the brutal highlight below.

Like Primus, Rabadanov is a former Bellator fighter who moved over to the PFL this year to take part in the lightweight season. After a pair of underwhelming decision wins to make it into the playoffs, Rabadanov knocked out Michael Dufort in the semi-finals to earn his shot at the title. His overall career record now stands at 24-4-2.
