Tale of the Tape
Result Summary
Colley Bradford def. Chad Yard Submission (rear-naked choke) · R2 1:57
Fight Overview
Yard enters undefeated at 4-0 with a Muay Thai and Jiu Jitsu base, but this is his step up to PFL competition where the margin for error shrinks. Bradford at 5-4 brings the veteran experience Yard lacks, though his recent form is alarming — stopped at 18 seconds by Roland Dunlap in March 2026 and stopped by leg kick to ground-and-pound the prior August. Yard's clean record runs straight into Bradford's volatile, finish-or-be-finished pattern.
Keys to Victory
Chad Yard
- Press Bradford early with Muay Thai combinations to stress the chin that has been cracked twice in eight months
- Use grappling to control position and neutralize Bradford's power swings in close-range exchanges
- Never overcommit to a single shot — Bradford's submission grappling is a live threat from his guard
Colley Bradford
- Enter the clinch immediately to neutralize Yard's Muay Thai and work dirty boxing on the inside
- Pull the fight to the mat and seek submission entries that flip the momentum away from Yard's striking
- Absorb as little clean volume as possible — recent stoppages suggest his chin cannot sustain prolonged fire
