Exciting Results from PFL Africa in Casablanca

The Professional Fighters League (PFL) delivered an electrifying evening of mixed martial arts at the sold-out Mohammed V Sports Complex in Casablanca, Morocco, on October 10, 2026. The heavyweight main event showcased a highly anticipated clash between Abdoulaye Kane and Badr Medkouri, where Kane showcased his formidable striking ability by securing a first-round technical knockout victory over Medkouri. This decisive win not only highlighted Kane's power but also set the tone for an action-packed night of fights.

In addition to the heavyweight showdown, the event also featured the finals of the PFL Africa playoffs, where fighters competed for a substantial prize of $100,000 and the prestigious title of season champion. Among the notable performances that night, Shido Boris Esperança and David Samuel both emerged victorious, setting the stage for an intense championship bout later this year in Rwanda. The anticipation is palpable as these two competitors are eager to face off for the ultimate prize.

Notable Performances and Upcoming Battles

Another highlight of the evening came from lightweight contender Patrick Ocheme, who advanced to the finals with an impressive knockout victory over Cornel Thompson, delivering a devastating liver kick that left his opponent unable to continue. Ocheme will now face Demba Seck in the lightweight finals, a fighter who advanced despite not winning his last bout against Hussain Al Kurdi due to a no contest ruling that followed an accidental foul.

Moreover, in the bantamweight division, Dwight Joseph showcased his resilience by outlasting Boule Godogo, earning his place in the finals against Raphael Uchegbu, who recently triumphed over Edson Machavane at a previous PFL event in Nigeria. The stakes are high as these fighters prepare to battle for championship glory.
