The PFL event held in Madrid left one of the most outstanding fights of the year for the organization with the defense of the middleweight belt by Costello van Steenis. The Spanish-Dutch fighter managed to beat Fabian Edwards in the main fight of the event held at the Palacio Vistalegre.
The fight was a highly anticipated rematch between both fighters and kept the interest of the public throughout the evening. Edwards tried to impose his rhythm in the early stages of the fight, but Van Steenis managed to find opportunities to change the dynamic of the confrontation.
The end came in the third round, when the champion got a dominant position on the ground and punished Edwards with a series of elbows that forced the referee to stop the fight. The referee's intervention confirmed the victory by technical knockout for the Hispanic.
With this result, Van Steenis reinforces his dominance within the category and consolidates his position as one of the strongest middleweight names in the Professional Fighters League.
