Key takeaways
Bryan Battle beat Dalton Rosta by split decision after three rounds in the main event of PFL Charlotte at the Bojangles Coliseum in Charlotte. The co-main event also went to the scorecards: Simeon Powell beat Dovlet Yagshimuradov after three rounds at light heavyweight.
Across the 13 bouts that produced a result, four ended by knockout, one by submission and eight on the judges' scorecards — five stoppages in 13 fights. Three of the eight decisions divided the judges.
The quickest finish belonged to Denis Goltsov, who stopped Hasan Mezhiev after 52 seconds, and three of the five finishes came inside the opening round. The longest was Maxwell Djantou Nana's knockout of Eduardo Neves, 12 minutes and 1 seconds in. End to end, the 13 fights filled two hours and 28 minutes of cage time.
The preliminary card out-finished the main card: four of its eight results came early, against one of the five above it. Denis Goltsov (knockout, round one), Cheyanne Bowers (submission, round one) and Maxwell Djantou Nana (knockout, round three) all closed before the judges were needed.
Nine weight classes were used, middleweight most often with three bouts.
