Franco Tenaglia secured a significant win at PFL Madrid, though it came under unfortunate circumstances as Yassin Najid sustained a severe shoulder injury in the second round of their bout.
The initial round was dominated by Najid, who showcased his superior grappling skills from the outset. Despite Tenaglia’s persistent attempts to secure a heel hook, Najid expertly defended, even coming close to finishing the fight with a rear-naked choke against the cage as the clock ticked down.
However, Najid couldn’t capitalize on his early advantage, leading to a second round that saw a dramatic shift in momentum.
Following his strong start, Najid’s offensive output dwindled significantly in the second, enabling Tenaglia to take control and mount a comeback. The bout was ultimately halted before the third round could begin, as Najid’s corner threw in the towel, confirming that their fighter had dislocated his shoulder at some point during the second frame.
Official Result: Franco Tenaglia defeated Yassin Najid by TKO due to injury (dislocated shoulder) at 5:00 of Round 2.
