PFL 6 full results, highlights and standings: Ray Cooper III snatches top seed with 18-second KO
Last night, the Professional Fighters League (PFL) touched down in Atlantic City, New Jersey with PFL 6.
This card saw the league’s middleweight and welterweight stars battle to cement their places in the PFL playoffs, and edge closer to each division’s million-dollar prize.
As has become the norm for PFL cards, PFL 6 included plenty of action. Though the card was a little decision-heavy, it still featured a number of exciting finishes — including one in the main event, where the surging Ray Cooper III snatched the top seed in the welterweight division with an 18-second KO of Pavlo Kusch.
Elsewhere on the card, we saw big wins from names like Abubakar Nurmagomedov, Joao Zeferino, Rick Story, and Jake Shields.
The card also featured the sophomore effort of red-hot prospect Kayla Harrison, who defeated Jozette Cotton by TKO in the third round.
Without further ado, here are the full PFL 6 results, along with some highlights of each bout, and the standings in each division.
