2021 PFL 3 video highlights: Controversy, dominance, upset rule wild night

The PFL was back in action Thursday, and what a wild night of twists and turns it was – except for one defending champion picking up right where she left off.

In the main event, former UFC champ Fabricio Werdum (24-10-1) made his promotional debut, which ended with a TKO loss to Renan Ferreira (7-2) in controversial fashion after video replays showed referee Keith Peterson missed Ferreira tapping out while in a triangle choke. In the co-headliner, 2019 PFL champ Kayla Harrison (9-0) needed only 83 seconds to take out Mariana Morais (16-11). The night also featured a surprise upset for Brandon Sayles (6-1), who choked out Mohammed Usman (7-2) in the second round.

Check out the highlights from 2021 PFL 3, which featured fights in the heavyweight and women’s lightweight divisions, in the video above.
