One of the more interesting bouts on the PFL Brussels card was the debut of Donegi Abena, as he took on the returning Joe Schilling. And that fight ended up producing one of the most bizarre finishes in PFL history.
Abena ended up getting the win after committing a foul, with his opponent refusing to continue.
The fight quickly went to the ground with Abena on top. While there, Abena headbutt Schilling, resulting in referee Mike Beltran calling a timeout and deducting a point from Abena.
Schilling was furious with his opponent, walking around the cage and refusing to stay in his corner.
