PFL: Daytona highlights: Ronny Markes slips and slides past ex-champ Smealinho Rama

To open up the newly formed Professional Fighters League’s first event, Ronny Markes topped a former WSOF champion.

Markes (17-5), in a light heavyweight bout, grinded out a unanimous decision win over former WSOF heavyweight champ Smealinho Rama (10-3). Markes dealt with a slick canvas thanks to humidity and rain at the outdoor venue, but picked up a pair of 29-28 scores and a 30-27.

Check out the highlights from their fight above, which was part of the Professional Fighters League debut event, “PFL: Daytona.” The show took place at Daytona International Speedway in Daytona Beach, Fla., and aired on NBCSN.
