Video: Raush Manfio knocks out Don Madge in comeback win at 2022 PFL 1

It was a close call for Raush Manfio.

The 2021 PFL lightweight champion picked up an impressive comeback win, putting away his opponent Don Madge at the 2:42 mark of Round 3 in a bout that he was likely losing on the scorecards. The 155-pound contest took place in the co-main event of 2022 PFL 1 event in Arlington, Texas.

The win earned Manfio four points in the season.

Although Manfio (16-3) was hanging with Madge (11-4-1), it seemed the Brazilian was behind the scorecards, as Madge was landing the bigger shots and had the most volume throughout the fight. But that all changed when Manfio connected with a hard right hand that dropped Madge. From there, Manfio followed up with ground-and-pound, forcing the referee to stop the fight.
