'Fight Of The Year Across Any Promotion' - MMA Fans React After Wild PFL Europe Brawl Features 14 Knockdowns!

This past Saturday in Glasgow, Scotland, PFL Europe 3 produced possibly the best fight to have ever taken place in the Smart Cage.

After his previous opponent withdrew, Lewis McGrillen stepped in as an alternate to face Dean Garnett in the semi-final play-offs of the bantamweight tournament.

What followed was an unbelievable back-and-forth war between the two Brits that featured a staggering 14 knockdowns in just 12 minutes.

The majority of them came from McGrillen, who is known for knocking opponents out cold but Garnett kept recovering and getting back to his feet.

That was until the fifth round where a heavy shot landed and sent Garnett face down to the canvas, giving "McGrizzla" a spectacular walk-off KO moment.
