Alfie Davis Triumphs in PFL Semifinals: Eyes Lightweight Championship in Charlotte

Alfie Davis advances to the PFL Finals after a unanimous decision win, setting up a championship bout against Gadzhi Rabadanov in Charlotte.

Alfie Davis Secures Spot in PFL Finals

Britain's Alfie Davis has successfully advanced to the final of the PFL lightweight tournament after a hard-fought unanimous decision victory over Brent Primus in Wichita, Kansas. The 33-year-old showcased his striking prowess in a dynamic contest, earning a 29-28 score on all three judges' cards at the Intrust Bank Arena.

Championship and Prize Money at Stake

With this victory, Davis is now set to compete for his first world title and a substantial prize of £395,000 ($500,000). His next challenge will be against Russia's Gadzhi Rabadanov at the PFL Finals scheduled for August 15 at the Bojangles Coliseum in Charlotte, North Carolina.

Disappointment for Jake Hadley

In contrast, fellow Briton Jake Hadley faced a tough defeat in the bantamweight semi-finals against Brazil's Marcirley Alves. Hadley struggled throughout the match, unable to counter Alves' dominant striking and powerful combinations.

Davis' Path to the Finals

The PFL has been a significant platform for British fighters, with past successes like Brendan Loughnane and Dakota Ditcheva. Davis, aiming to become Britain's first PFL lightweight champion, delivered an impressive performance against Primus, overcoming an initial setback to dominate the later rounds with effective strikes and strategic maneuvers.

Looking Ahead

As the PFL season progresses, all eyes will be on Davis as he prepares for his championship bout. The event promises to be a highlight of the MMA calendar, showcasing top-tier talent and thrilling matchups.

Other Notable Matches

On the undercard, Ireland's Darragh Kelly continued his undefeated streak, while Britain's Fabian Edwards and Simeon Powell are set to compete in their respective semi-final matches later this month.
