Overview
- PFL Charlotte ran at Bojangles Coliseum and concluded on Friday with a full 13-fight card broadcast on the ESPN App and ESPN.
- Battle beat Rosta by split decision (29-28, 28-29, 29-28) to pick up his first PFL victory after losing his promotional debut to Johnny Eblen.
- Both headliners made weight at the official weigh-ins with Battle at 185.6 pounds and Rosta at 185.8 pounds, and all other fighters were cleared to compete.
- The undercard produced multiple stoppages including Maxwell Djantou Nana’s third-round TKO of Eduardo Neves and Trey Waters’ first-round TKO of Trukon Carson.
- Battle’s home win helps repair momentum after his UFC release for repeated weight misses and gives him a platform to pursue more PFL fights while the league continues summer-series exposure on ESPN.
