    Tasmanian-based light-heavyweight Rob Wilkinson continued his fine form on the weekend with a first-round stoppage against Viktor Pesta.

    Wilkinson was taken down early however straight away scrambled to his feet where he was clinical with his boxing. An overhand right rocked his opponent, with a follow-up right dropping his opponent. Wilkinson stayed calm and Pesta was met with another right that dropped him. Wilkinson flurried and ended the contest.

    The win earned Wilkinson 6-points and the top position in the light-heavyweight division as the competition moves to the playoffs.

    PFL runs a league and playoff format with the top point scorers after the opening two fights, progressing to the playoffs where they will be two fights away from a US$1 million purse.

    Wilkinson (15-2) will now face Brazilian Delon Monte (9-2) while in the other semi-final Omari Akhmedov (23-7-1) takes on Antônio Carlos Júnior (15-5, 2 no-contests).

    Started Martial Arts training after watching Mr Miyagi and Daniel-son in Karate Kid back in 1987. By the time MMA arrived many years later, I was hooked. Coverage of local MMA was via scarce posts on forums like the Underground and Sherdog. I embarked on covering the sport in 2002 and since then have written thousands of articles for both print and online media, before branching out and starting Fight News Australia in 2010. Outside the site, I dream of riding in an F1 car or a Jet Fighter. Anyone have a spare one lying around?
