Gustavo Oliveira Delivers Stunning Spinning Back Elbow for Potential Knockout of the Year at PFL Europe 2

Gustavo Oliveira certainly added a remarkable moment to his career highlight reel during Saturday`s PFL Europe 2 event.

The 28-year-old fighter representing Portugal unleashed a devastating spinning back elbow that absolutely floored his opponent, Anas Azizoun, in the opening round of their bantamweight contest.

The commentators were left stunned after Oliveira stepped into striking range before executing the spinning back elbow, which landed perfectly and rendered Azizoun unconscious before he even hit the ground.

The fight concluded at the 3:25 mark of the first round.

This spectacular knockout is undoubtedly worthy of significant attention and should earn Oliveira considerable recognition after such a memorable finish.

Following his dominant win, Oliveira took a moment to honor the late Portuguese football player Diogo Jota, who tragically died in a car accident on July 3 while traveling with his brother in Spain. Oliveira wore a custom-made shirt bearing Jota’s name and number as he was announced as the victor.
