After a nearly two-year hiatus from the octagon, Phil Davis made a triumphant return in Orlando, Fla., showcasing his skills and securing a victory in the 2025 PFL World Tournament 4 main event. Davis (25-7) delivered a stunning finish to Rob Wilkinson (19-4) with a powerful overhand right followed by a flurry of punches, ending the fight just 51 seconds into Round 2.
The 40-year-old Davis will now move on to the semifinals, where he is set to face Sullivan Cauley (7-1), who also claimed a victory earlier in the night with a first-round TKO.
This marked Davis’ first fight since June 16, 2023, and his debut in the PFL following the organization’s merger with Bellator. With three wins in his last four fights, Davis is proving that he is still a force to be reckoned with in the cage.
On the other hand, Wilkinson, 33, suffered his second consecutive defeat.
