If there was any question of whether Cezar Ferreira could handle a move 20 pounds north, he answered it Thursday.
Ferreira (14-8) made quick work of Nick Roehrick (9-2) with a first-round knockout in their light heavyweight regular season fight at 2021 PFL 2. The fight was Ferreira’s move to 205 pounds after fighting at 185 pounds for 15 fights in the UFC before signing with the PFL.
Ferreira backed Roehrick up quickly, then landed a handful of lefts and rights with Roehrick against the cage. Roehrick hit the canvas and was out just 37 seconds into the fight. The finish was the second fastest knockout in PFL light heavyweight history.
The Brazilian vaulted to the top of the light heavyweight standings with the first-round finish, which earned him the maximum 6 points.
