Gustavo Oliveira produced a truly spectacular moment at PFL Europe 2 on Saturday evening. The 28-year-old bantamweight from Portugal uncorked a ferocious spinning back elbow that utterly finished his opponent, Anas Azizoun, in the opening round of their fight.
The commentators were left stunned as Oliveira stepped into the pocket for an exchange, then unleashed the perfectly timed and landed spinning back elbow. The impact was so significant that Azizoun was rendered unconscious before he even fell to the canvas.
The fight was officially stopped at the 3:25 mark of the first round. This memorable knockout performance is certainly expected to elevate Oliveira`s profile and bring him considerable attention within the sport.
Following his impressive victory, Oliveira took the opportunity to honor Portuguese footballer Diogo Jota, who tragically passed away in a car crash earlier in July. As his name was announced as the winner, Oliveira wore a shirt he had made bearing Jota’s name and squad number.
