Ibragim Ibragimov makes it a quick night with sub-minute submission

Still early into his MMA career, Ibragim Ibragimov has found success already, entering tonight with a 6-0 record and five finishes to his name. The Manchester Top Team product is preparing for his first test on a big stage here. The two-time international MMA champion, known for his power, most recently fought in September, scoring a third-round finish of Joaquim Polonia.

Known as “Crazy Horse”, Josh Reed has a wild, aggressive style that he brings into his fights. Out of Reed’s 13 wins, 11 have come by KO/TKO, and most of his finishes have come in the first round. The Brazilian jiu-jitsu black belt most recently fought in November, scoring a first-round submission of Corrin Eaton.

Which of these two will impress PFL fans and officials in this featherweight showcase?
