Resumen del resultado
Patrick Habirora defeated Benson Henderson by TKO at 0:20 of round one to headline PFL Brussels at ING Arena in Brussels on May 23, 2026, improving his record to 9-0. The 25-year-old Belgian welterweight needed just 20 seconds to stop the contest, landing fight-ending strikes before the referee intervened. Henderson, the former UFC and WEC lightweight champion, was attempting his first fight since a 2023 loss to Usman Nurmagomedov and had no time to settle into his rhythm. For Habirora — headlining on home soil in a card bearing his name — the finish extended a run of seven stoppages in eight professional wins and marked a breakthrough performance against a legendary opponent.
