Abdoulaye Kane Scores Walk-Off Head Kick KO In Mere Seconds

Abdoulaye Kane is a striking specialist who possesses great finishing power. He scored finishes in all three of his first three fights, with his first two fights combined lasting under two minutes. Unfortunately for Kane, an illegal strike resulted in a disqualification loss to Joffie Houlton in their opening-round tournament bout this past summer.

Emmanuel Mukam is a 2-0 fighter who fights out of the Francis Ngannou Foundation. He made his professional MMA debut this summer, scoring quick finishes of Adalbert Mbala and Utobo Arinze Chukwu. This marks his PFL debut.

Who will come out on top in this heavyweight battle?

Round 1
