Patrick Habirora’s star rises with yet another amazing knockout in Lyon

Patrick Habirora was a decorated amateur MMA fighter, picking up accolades that include an IMMAF World Junior Championships bronze medal and an IMMAF European Championships silver medal. Habirora enters tonight with a 7-0 record that includes six knockouts, five of which have come in the first round. He sent the Belgium crowd into a frenzy this past July with his finish of Danny Roberts.

Kevin Jousset is a former regional champion who trains out of City Kickboxing alongside the likes of Israel Adesanya and Alexander Volkanovski. A judo and striking specialist, Jousset enters tonight with five wins in his last seven. Jousset, who was originally booked to face Abdoul

Abdouraguimov in September, makes his PFL debut tonight off a decision loss to Jonathan Micallef in February.

Which of these two welterweights will continue to build momentum in this one?
