The third week of PFL’s 2018 season just wrapped up with the marquee matchup witnessing Ray Cooper III scoring a second-round TKO of MMA veteran Jake Shields to achieve five points. Cooper was a +925 betting underdog to Shields’ astronomical moneyline of -1400. The co-main event saw Pavel Kusch pulled off a major upset when he choked out Abubakar Nurmagomedov (cousin of UFC lightweight champion Khabib Nurmagomedov) in the second round to earn 5 points. The betting odds had Kusch listed as a +885 underdog to Nurmagomedov’s mega favorite line of -1350.
Also on the main card, Rick Story successfully made his PFL debut with a grinding decision win over Yuri Villefort.
