Islam Youssef kicked off his PFL career with an unbelievable knockout.
In the opening round of the PFL MENA bantamweight quarterfinals on Friday, Youssef unleashed a ridiculous flying kick to catch a retreating Benyamin Ghahreman and leave him crumbled on the canvas.
Watch the amazing finish below.
With Ghahreman scrambling to his feet, Youssef gave him zero room to breathe as he chased him to the fence. Ghahreman attempted to circle away, but he spun right into Youssef’s flying strike and the kick caught him square in the head. Youssef landed a trio of hard hammer fists before the bout was officially stopped 3:56 into Round 2.
Despite missing weight (Youssef officially came in at 137.3 pounds on Thursday), Youssef now advances to the semifinals of the PFL MENA 135-pound tournament.
Youssef improved to 6-2 as a pro in his PFL debut and has now won five straight fights since his most recent loss in 2021.
