Brent Primus and Gadzhi Rabadanov meet Saturday for the lightweight $1 million title at the 2024 PFL Championship. Check out this quick breakdown of the matchup.
Brent Primus vs. Gadzhi Rabadanov 2024 PFL Championship preview
Fans have seen a lot more of former Bellator champion Brent Primus (15-3) in recent years, and an upset win would make him a titleholder in two major promotions. After he dropped the Bellator belt in his first attempted title defense in 2018, it’s been up and down – but lately up since he arrived at the PFL. He submitted Bruno Miranda and Solomon Renfro, then outworked Clay Collard in the semifinals three months ago.
Gadzhi Rabadanov (23-4-2) lost the Eagle FC lightweight title in 2020, but hasn’t looked back. He has nine straight wins, including five for Bellator and three in this current PFL season. Rabadanov is a grinder. Although he knocked out Michael Dufort in the semifinals, seven of his previous eight wins were decisions.
