Round 2:

Khaybulaev takes down Diamond quickly to begin the round. Khaybulaev looks for an arm-triangle submission but abandons it for a moment before trying for it again. Khaybulaev isn’t able to secure the submission and instead just diminishes Diamond with top control. Khaybulaev doesn’t do much work in the dominant position as he lays on Diamond with two minutes on the clock. But, that soon changes as Khaybulaev catches a second wind and hunts for the finish. Khaybulaev locks up Diamond’s neck and finally gets the arm-triangle he so desired.

With this win, Movlid Khaybulaev advances to the PFL Playoffs.
