Kelvin Tiller’s Biggest Motivation to win PFL Tournament is his Tough Past

Kelvin Tiller took one step closer to his dreams last Thursday. The middleweight-turned-heavyweight submitted Jared Rosholt in the second round of their PFL 4 bout.

Tiller was able to score a takedown on the wrestling-heavy Rosholt in the first round before Rosholt was able to end the round on top with his usual suffocating game. But less than a minute into the second round, Tiller started working on an anaconda choke. He used it to transition into a tight guillotine that forced Rosholt to tap.

The win gave Tiller five points and earned him the second seed heading into the Professional Fighters League playoffs.
