Brutal PFL Pittsburgh KO comes moments after odd leg-in-pants sequence
It was all-time weirdness then all-time violence between Josh Fremd and Jarrah Hussein Al-Silawi at PFL Pittsburgh.
It was all-time weirdness followed by all-time violence at PFL Pittsburgh . Josh Fremd vs. Jarrah Hussein Al-Silawi was a lot to process in a little bit of time Saturday night.
If nothing else happens for the rest of the event, the middleweight bout on the prelims gave fans something to talk about when they leave UMPC Events Center in Pittsburgh. Born in Pennsylvania, Fremd had the local crowd firmly behind him. Midway through the third, however, things got a little weird on the ground during a grappling sequence.
As Fremd took the back, Al-Silawi's foot got stuck through his shorts ā nearly removing them all together and leaving him in his compression shorts. The weird, twisting of bodies and clothing confused referee Nick Berens, who eventually called timeout to untangle the fighters. When the action resumed, it didn't last much longer.
Fremd connected with a massive left hand that faceplanted Al-Silawi as gravity took over. The stoppage came at 3:57 of Round 3. Check out the bizarreness, followed by the violence in the videos below: You don't see this every day...
