Description search icon English Flag
The marquee matchup at the Palacio Vistalegre in Madrid marks a pivotal moment for the PFL middleweight division. Local champion Costello "The Spaniard" van Steenis seeks to validate his earlier split-decision win over Fabian "The Assassin" Edwards in their highly anticipated rematch. Since their first encounter, Van Steenis has developed into a physical force known for his suffocating pressure, while Edwards has climbed the rankings with a refined striking arsenal and elite takedown defense.

The central story of this fight is the contrast in styles: the champion’s desire to close the distance and initiate grappling versus the challenger's objective to maintain range and utilize his superior reach. For Edwards, this is a quest for redemption and a chance to secure the world title on his rival's home turf. For Van Steenis, a victory here would not only end the rivalry but also cement his legacy as the top middleweight in the promotion.

Result Description
Costello van Steenis successfully defended his PFL Middleweight Championship, stopping Fabian Edwards with a third-round knockout. The narrative of the fight was one of increasing physicality; after a competitive start where both men traded advantages in technical scrambles, Van Steenis took control in the third. He trapped Edwards against the cage and landed a series of punishing short elbows that brought the contest to a close at the 1:48 mark.

The undercard delivered significant results for the home crowd. The champion's brother, Gino van Steenis, secured a stunning first-round knockout over Mark Ewen, while AJ McKee earned a unanimous decision victory over Adam Borics in the co-main event. Other notable winners included Linton Vassell, who defeated Jose Augusto by TKO, and Jacinta Austin, who won her strawweight bout in the first round. The event was a major success for Spanish MMA, with several local fighters securing decisive wins on a historic night in Madrid.
