Magomed Magomedkerimov avoided the power of Ray Cooper III and locked in a second-round submission to win the PFL welterweight championship and $1 million prize in the main event of PFL 11. The welterweight playoff final was the main event of today’s PFL 11 show at Hulu Theatre at Madison Square Garden in New York. It aired on NBCSN. Magomedkerimov (23-5) tapped Cooper III (17-5) with a guillotine choke. Vice grip! #PFLChampionship #NewYearsEve2018 pic.twitter.com/MRpJOfumLV — #PFLmma (@ProFightLeague) January 1, 2019 Cooper III came out of the gate throwing absolute haymakers in Magomedkerimov’s direction. The Russian stayed composed, though, and when Cooper III took a misstep, he jumped on the back and instantly started working for a rear-naked choke.
