Louis Taylor needed just 33 seconds to claim the PFL middleweight crown with a one-punch knockout of Abusupiyan Magomedov.
The middleweight playoff final opened today’s PFL 11 event at Hulu Theatre at Madison Square Garden in New York. It aired on NBCSN.
After a brief feeling out period, Taylor (18-4-1) launched a leaping right hook that landed clean to the chin of Magomedov (22-4-1). He went down in a heap and after one follow-up shot referee Dan Miragliotta stepped in to bring a halt to the action for the stunning finish of the No. 1 seed in the middleweight bracket.

The 39-year-old Taylor received his $1,000,000 check post-fight and celebrated the victory alongside his family.
“Everyone want to keep doubting me and say, ‘Oh, he’s this age,’” Taylor said in his post-fight interview with Carolyn Pierce. “You’re as old as your mind, I’ve never put any of those toxins in it. I’m riding this train into 2019 and I want another check.”
