20 seconds into the first round, Belgium’s Patrick Habirora stopped former UFC and WEC champion Benson Henderson with punches in the PFL Brussels main event at ING Arena.
The win pushed the 25-year-old Habirora to 8-0 and extended the momentum he built in PFL Europe last year with two first-round finishes.
Henderson entered at 30-12 and had not fought in MMA since 2023, returning after competing in other combat disciplines over the past few years.
On the rest of the card, Taylor Lapilus beat Jake Hadley by unanimous decision in the co-main event, while Boris Mbarga Atangana also scored a first-round knockout.
