And while the card may not have had the biggest names to attract the casuals (<a href=\"https:\/\/www.mmamania.com\/professional-fighters-league-pfl\/379900\/pfl-head-disappointed-francis-ngannou-skipped-promotions-debut-africa-event\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\">this one included<\/a>), the event had several great finishes.<\/p>\n<p class=\"duet--article--dangerously-set-cms-markup duet--article--standard-paragraph _1nfb3k4i _16w9vov1 _16w9vov0 ls9zuh1\">But perhaps there wasn\u2019t one better than Dwight Joseph\u2019s electrifying, buzzer-beating walk off finish of Wilker Nsamo. In the closing seconds of round two, Joseph and Nsamo got into a fiery exchange once the 10-second warning was announced. For his part, Joseph started throwing \u201cspinning sh*t,\u201d which prompted Nsamo to charge in.<\/p>\n<p class=\"duet--article--dangerously-set-cms-markup duet--article--standard-paragraph _1nfb3k4i _16w9vov1 _16w9vov0 ls9zuh1\">That proved to be a huge mistake.<\/p>\n<p class=\"duet--article--dangerously-set-cms-markup duet--article--standard-paragraph _1nfb3k4i _16w9vov1 _16w9vov0 ls9zuh1\">In the blink of an eye, Joseph timed Nsamo\u2019s somewhat lackadaisical takedown attempt and mustered up everything he had to elevate himself to deliver a flying knee from hell, connecting right on his opponent\u2019s chin, sending him crashing to the canvas stiff as a board.<\/p>\n<p class=\"duet--article--dangerously-set-cms-markup duet--article--standard-paragraph _1nfb3k4i _16w9vov1 _16w9vov0 ls9zuh1\">Check out the amazing finish in the embedded video play above.<\/p>\n<p class=\"duet--article--dangerously-set-cms-markup duet--article--standard-paragraph _1nfb3k4i _16w9vov1 _16w9vov0 ls9zuh1\">With the win, Joseph \u2014 who trains out of Team Alpha Male \u2014 moves on to the next round and improves his overall mixed martial arts (MMA) record to 15-2, while Nsamo suffers the first-ever defeat of his career in devastating, highlight-reel fashion that will be on loop for days to come.<\/p>\n<p class=\"duet--article--dangerously-set-cms-markup duet--article--standard-paragraph _1nfb3k4i _16w9vov1 _16w9vov0 ls9zuh1\">For all the latest PFL news and notes click <a href=\"https:\/\/www.mmamania.com\/professional-fighters-league-pfl\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\">here<\/a>.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Professional Fighters League (PFL) was back in Africa earlier today (Sat., Aug. 19, 2025) with the continuation of&hellip;\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":57518,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[444],"tags":[49,48,641,33601,638,8810,82],"class_list":["post-57517","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","category-mma","tag-ca","tag-canada","tag-fighting","tag-latest-ufc-mma-news","tag-mma","tag-professional-fighters-league-pfl","tag-sports"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/57517","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=57517"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/57517\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/57518"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=57517"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=57517"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=57517"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
