The 2001 PFL World Championship just wrapped up, and we’ve got you covered with all the results, sights, and sounds!

There were six world title fights in tonight’s 2021 PFL season finale and thus six $1 million winners. In the main event, Kayla Harrison put her undefeated record on the line against Taylor Guardado. And in the only non-title fight on the main card, Olympic boxing champion Claressa Shields made her sophomore MMA appearance against the 2-0 Abigail Montes.

So which six talented fighters took home the cash? And how did the PFL’s resident Olympians Kayla Harrison and Claressa Shields fare? You can catch the main card highlights below followed by the quick results.

Main Card Kick-Off

Before we get to the action, here are a few sounds from multi-platinum recording artists and part-owner of the PFL, Wiz Khalifa, who literally setting the tone for the night!

Movlid Khaybulaev vs. Chris Wade 

First up on the main card was Movlid Khaybulaev taking on Chris Wade. Both men came into this fight with a 3-0 season record. That would inevitably change, of course, with one of the two taking home $1 million for his efforts. Would Khaybulaev show why he was the favorite? Or would former UFC vet Chris Wade show that life outside of the UFC is worth a million bucks? Check out the highlights below!

Bruno Cappelozza vs. Ante Delija

Next up we’ve got the heavyweights, Bruno Cappelozza taking on Ante Delija in a rematch of a fight that took place earlier this year. Cappelozza got the victory the first time in their May encounter. Would history repeat itself here with $1 million at risk? The frenetic highlights below reveal the answer to that question.

Claressa Shields vs. Abigail Montes

Up next, we have the highly anticipated return of Claressa Shields as she takes on 2-0 Abigail Montes. Shields had to overcome her share of adversity in her MMA debut against Brittney Elkin in June. Would she again need to dig deep, or would she have a much smoother outing this go-round? Find out which of these MMA newcomers’ 0 had to go in the highlights below.

Ray Cooper III vs. Magomed Magomedkerimov

In the co-main event, the last two winners of the welterweight PFL seasons went at it in the rematch. The first time, Magomedkerimov defeated Cooper via guillotine choke in 2018. This time, there was once again a finish. Find out who earned it and how in the memorable outcome below.

Kayla Harrison vs. Taylor Guardado

There was no other way to close out the 2021 PFL season than with the undefeated Olympian Kayla Harrison looking to repeat as the women’s lightweight champion. Entering the fight as a -4000 favorite, this main event was viewed more as a coronation than an actual final. Would Taylor Guardado shock the world and give PFL the historic landmark of the greatest upset in MMA championship history? Buckle up and find out below.

UFC Vegas 41

LowKick MMA will be bringing you UFC Vegas 41: Costa vs. Vettori results throughout the night (Sat. 23rd. October 2021) from the UFC Apex facility in Las Vegas, Nevada.

Taking main event status in a short notice light heavyweight main event, one-time middleweight title challengers, Paulo ‘Borrachinha’ Costa, and Marvin ‘The Italian Dream’ Vettori meet following a turbulent fight week that included two changes in weight to the headlining bout.

Originally, the pair were slated to headline in a middleweight matchup, until Costa confirmed on Wednesday that he would not be competing at the 186lbs middleweight limit, before offering Vettori a catchweight pairing instead.

Ultimately agreeing to meet at a 195lbs catchweight pairing, with Costa forfeiting 20% of his fight purse to the Trento native as a result.

However, prior to the weigh-ins of Friday, Costa and Vettori’s main event slot was changed to an official light heavyweight matchup, with the two tipping the scales beneath the limit on Friday morning at the UFC Apex facility.

The event will mark Costa’s first outing since September of last year at UFC 253, where he suffered a second round knockout loss to Israel Adesanya in his first title challenge under the promotion’s banner.

For Vettori, the Kings MMA mainstay headlined UFC 263 in June, dropping a second career loss to common-foe, Adesanya in the form of a unanimous decision.

In the second round, Dawson got him down and did the exact same in the third round. In both rounds, both guys did a nice job of staying busy with strikes.

Taking main event status at the UFC Apex facility, a featherweight matchup between the #3 ranked bantamweight contender, Aspen Ladd, and Brazilian contender, Norma Dumont.

Replacing former undisputed bantamweight champion, Holly Holm on short notice, Ladd is slated to make her featherweight division bow following a botched bantamweight cut for a scheduled UFC Vegas 39 bout with Macy Chiasson.

9-1 as a professional, Ladd last featured professionally at UFC Fight Night D.C. back in December 2019, rallying to stop one-time featherweight title challenger, Yana Kunitskaya with an early third round knockout win. In July of that year, Ladd suffered her sole professional loss in the form of a quickfire knockout defeat to inaugural featherweight champion, Germaine de Randamie.

Boasting a 6-1 professional record, Belo Horizonte native, Dumont has managed to score two successive victories in her last two Octagon outings.

Debuting in the promotion back in February of last year, Dumont suffered a first round knockout defeat against Megan Anderson. In two matchups since, Dumont has defeated both Ashlee Evans-Smith, as well as one-time title challenger, Felicia Spencer.
