There’s a reason why Renat Khavalov is still undefeated.
The 27-year-old bantamweight prospect showed the world why he’s one of the more promising figures in the PFL. In brutal fashion, Khavalov (10-0) quickly dispatched Vilson Ndregjoni (11-5) in their preliminary bout at 2025 PFL World Tournament 9 – which took place at Bojangles Coliseum in Charlotte, North Carolina.
Khavalov caught Ndregjoni with a slick knee to the chin, as Ndregjoni looked to clinch Khavalov against the fence. That was the beginning of the end of the fight. After connecting, Khavalov followed Ndregjoni to the ground, landed a few extra shots, and got the referee to halt the action at the 2:49 mark of Round 1. This was Khavalov’s 10th professional win and 7th career stoppage victory.
