Islam Youssef made a stunning debut in the PFL, delivering a spectacular flying kick knockout against Benyamin Ghahreman in the opening round of the PFL MENA bantamweight quarterfinals on Friday.
The dramatic finish unfolded at 3:56 of Round 2. As Ghahreman was attempting to regain his footing near the fence, Youssef aggressively pursued, connecting with the flying strike directly to the head. A series of follow-up hammer fists prompted the referee to stop the contest.
Despite coming in over the bantamweight limit at 137.3 pounds, Youssef`s impressive victory ensures his progression to the semifinals of the PFL MENA 135-pound tournament.
With this win, Youssef improves his professional record to 6-2 and extends his current winning streak to five consecutive fights dating back to 2021.
