At PFL Europe 2 held on Saturday, Gustavo Oliveira certainly added an unforgettable moment to his career highlights.
In the opening round of his bantamweight contest against opponent Anas Azizoun, the 28-year-old fighter representing Portugal unleashed a powerful spinning back elbow. This devastating strike completely overwhelmed Azizoun.
The commentators reacted with visible excitement as Oliveira stepped forward for an exchange, only to unexpectedly throw the spinning back elbow. The strike landed with perfect accuracy and rendered Azizoun unconscious before he even hit the mat.
The fight was officially stopped at the 3-minute and 25-second mark of the first round.
This stunning knockout finish is truly remarkable and undoubtedly warrants significant attention for Oliveira.
Following his victory, Oliveira took the opportunity to honor Portuguese football player Diogo Jota, who tragically died in a car crash on July 3 while traveling with his brother in Spain. As he was announced as the winner, Oliveira was seen wearing a handmade shirt displaying Jota’s name and number.
