Rob Wilkinson is ready for anything going into his upcoming fight with Omari Akhmedov in this year’s Professional Fighters League finals. Wilkinson (16-2, 3-0 PFL) landed his spot to fight for the light heavyweight championship after scoring three inside-the-distance victories. In April, “Razor” smashed Bruce Souto with punches in the second round before stopping Viktor Pesta in June. In the playoffs, the Tasmanian-born fighter crushed Delan Monte thanks to a knee-punches combination 97 seconds into their bout. Now, only one obstacle stands between Wilkinson and the much-coveted $1 million prize. While Akhmedov is known for his grappling skills, Wilkinson remarked that he also comes from a grappling background.
