After landing a stunning upset against Leandro Higo in the quarterfinal round, Marcirley Alves delivered another show-stealing performance against Jake Hadley in the PFL World Tournament bantamweight semifinal.
Both fighters slugged it out in a fairly even opening round, but it was Alves’ work to the body that appeared to make all the difference. Throughout the first five minutes, Alves adequately punished Hadley’s midsection, sending the Brit to his corner sporting a whole lot of redness around his ribs.
Avles continued to mix up his striking in the second, busting up Hadley’s nose and causing some serious damage to Hadley’s torso.
