2025 PFL World Tournament 1 results: Jason Jackson chokes Andrey Koreshkov unconscious in main event
Former Bellator champion Jason Jackson is through to the semifinals for the 2025 PFL Welterweight Tournament.
Jackson (19-5) dominated and stopped fellow former Bellator champ Andrey Koreshkov in the main event of Thursday's 2025 PFL World Tournament 1 at Universal Studios Florida in Orlando, Fla. The win got Jackson through to the next round, and he will now face undefeated prospect Thad Jean in the semifinals.
Jackson dominated the action from start to finish. On the feet and in the grappling, he got the better of Koreshkov (28-6) in the first round of their 170-pound clash.
There was a scare for Jackson in the second round, as he landed a couple of illegal elbows to the back of the head of Koreshkov. The shots were deemed unintentional, so Jackson was not disqualified. Instead, Koreshkov was given some time to recover, Jackson was given a warning, and the fight resumed.
Almost immediately after the fight resumed, the fight ended. Jackson shot and got a takedown, quickly moved to mount, landed a few shots, and then got the back of Koreshkov. It was then when he sank in a rear-naked choke and put the Russian to sleep at the 4:21 mark of Round 2.
With the win, Jackson was able to bounce back from his June defeat to PFL champion Ramazan Kuramagomedov at the Bellator Championship Series – which is now defunct. Prior to the loss to Kuramagomedovk, Jackson was on an eight-fight winning streak that saw him win the Bellator welterweight title.

NFL Draft expert Todd McShay likes Cade Klubnik's game, gives an NFL player comp
NFL Draft expert Todd McShay likes Cade Klubnik's game, gives an NFL player comp Former ESPN draft analyst Todd McShay had high praise for Clemson quarterback Cade Klubnik this week, offering a notable NFL comparison as Klubnik prepares for his senior season. On The McShay Show, McShay said Klubnik reminds him of Denver Broncos quarterback Bo Nix, noting similarities in their feel for chaos and improvisation. 'I see a lot of Bo Nix in this kid,' McShay said. 'He's great when the play breaks down — climbing the pocket, sidestepping pressure. It's almost soothing for him. He also has that elastic arm. The ball comes out with more energy than you expect.' McShay said he underestimated Nix during his time at Auburn but came to appreciate his development at Oregon. He now sees those same traits in Klubnik — mobility, size, arm flexibility, and poise under pressure — though he made clear that the comparison was about style, not necessarily ceiling. Klubnik enters the 2025 season as a potential first-round pick and legitimate Heisman Trophy candidate. In 2024, he threw for 3,639 yards, 36 touchdowns and just six interceptions, while rushing for 463 yards and seven more scores. He was one of only two FBS quarterbacks to throw for over 3,500 yards and rush for more than 400. His 43 total touchdowns were second most in the country. In McShay's Way-Too-Early 2026 NFL Mock Draft, he projected Klubnik to the Cleveland Browns at No. 5 overall, calling Clemson's roster 'possibly the most talented Dabo Swinney has had in a decade.' Stephen Muench, McShay's co-host, offered a different comp: veteran NFL quarterback Matthew Stafford. 'I think both Stafford and Klubnik are very tough, very smart,' Muench said. 'He makes confident throws, gets to his third read. That's what you want to see in a next-level guy.' With both arm talent and experience, Klubnik will be a quarterback to watch closely this fall as NFL scouts continue to evaluate one of college football's most intriguing prospects.
