Jay Jay Wilson sets sights on avenging only MMA loss vs. Gadzhi Rabadanov in PFL semis
Jay Jay Wilson sets sights on avenging only MMA loss vs. Gadzhi Rabadanov in PFL semis Show Caption Hide Caption Jay Jay Wilson, PFL 2025 Week 3 post-fight video interview Jay Jay Wilson on his win over Mads Burnell Jay Jay Wilson hadn't been in the cage officially in more than 18 months, and hadn't yet fought for the PFL, but his result was what he expected. Wilson (11-1) beat Mads Burnell (20-7) with a third-round TKO this past Friday in the lightweight tournament. He moved on to a semifinal matchup against Gadzhi Rabadanov in late June – which is perfect for him, given Rabadanov is responsible for the only loss on Wilson's record more than three years ago at Bellator 276. Wilson spoke to the media following his win at 2025 PFL World Tournament 3, which took place at Universal Studios in Orlando, Fla. Watch Wilson's full post-fight interview in the video above courtesy of the PFL.

Ex-Bellator lightweight champ Brent Primus eyeing statement with title for PFL
Ex-Bellator lightweight champ Brent Primus eyeing statement with title for PFL Show Caption Hide Caption Brent Primus, PFL 2025 Week 3 post-fight video interview Brent Primus met the media after his win over Vinicius Cenci Brent Primus knows what it's like to become an unexpected champion, so winning a PFL title would be old hat. And it's not even that a lightweight belt in the PFL, like he did in Bellator when he stopped Michael Chandler, would be out of the question now for Primus (16-4), who beat Vinicius Cenci (8-3) with a third-round submission this past Friday. He moved on to a semifinal matchup against Alfie Davis in late June. Still, he's been overlooked before only to prove doubters wrong, and he'd gladly do it again. Primus spoke to the media following his win at 2025 PFL World Tournament 3, which took place at Universal Studios in Orlando, Fla. Watch Primus' full post-fight interview in the video above courtesy of the PFL.
