2025 PFL 4 video: Simeon Powell's dazzling muay Thai combination scores TKO
Simeon Powell made a statement Thursday in Orlando. At 2025 PFL World Tournament 4, Powell (11-1) pieced up Karl Albrektsson (14-7) with a dazzling muay Thai display to end the fight at 2:05 of Round 2 by TKO. The finishing sequence was a barrage of elbows and knees. Powell connected over and over again flush on the head of Albrektsson, occasionally driving a knee into the midsection. Albrektsson tried to hang tough, but eventually crumpled. With the win, Powell advances to the tournament semifinals. Powell, 26, has won back-to-back fights. He's unblemished outside of a wild loss to Jakob Nedoh in the 2024 PFL Europe final. Albrektsson, 31, has now lost four of his most recent five fights.
