After both going through the rigamarole of weighing in, Poclit charged to the face off with his hands up, eliciting an equally aggressive response from Abaev. Abaev then tried to shove Poclit, leading to a chaotic scene as security tried to intervene, only for a brawl to break out.<\/p>\n<p class=\"duet--article--dangerously-set-cms-markup duet--article--standard-paragraph _1nfb3k4i _16w9vov1 _16w9vov0 ls9zuh1\">PFL commentator and analyst Dana Hardy was in the middle of the faceoffs and nearly ate a kick from Abaev, before almost getting tackled into a split during the ensuing commotion. Security was ultimately able to get the situation under control.<\/p>\n<p class=\"duet--article--dangerously-set-cms-markup duet--article--standard-paragraph _1nfb3k4i _16w9vov1 _16w9vov0 ls9zuh1\">Check out the brawl below.<\/p>\n<p class=\"duet--article--dangerously-set-cms-markup duet--article--standard-paragraph _1nfb3k4i _16w9vov1 _16w9vov0 ls9zuh1\">PFL Brussels goes down Saturday at 12:30 p.m. ET on ESPN+.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"PFL Brussels may not be flying under the radar anymore.
