This UFC and Bellator veteran scored a dramatic win in his PFL debut after recovering from a nasty low blow.
Tim Johnson’s PFL debut played out as perhaps the wildest one-round fight of the MMA veteran’s entire career.The UFC and Bellator veteran kicked the year off with a first-round finish against Darion Abbey at XFC 50, and less than two months after that win Johnson stepped in on short notice to meet Danilo Marques at 2024 PFL 4 in Uncasville, CT.
Competing in his second PFL season, Marques entered the night looking to score back-to-back wins but ended up eating a huge right hand and simultaneously landed a debilitating low blow on Johnson just two minutes into the bout.There was a lengthy delay following the illegal blow to give Johnson a chance to recover, and when the 39-year-old did resume fighting he immediately began to pressure the Brazilian and land some huge punches.
