**Orlando, FL** – Phil Davis made a successful PFL debut at Universal Studios in Orlando, Florida, Thursday night, headlining PFL 4, the fourth event in the 2025 World Tournament. The event, broadcast live on ESPN2 and ESPN+, featured the opening rounds of the heavyweight and light heavyweight tournaments.

Davis, the former Bellator champion, defeated 2022 PFL champion Rob Wilkinson in the main event, though the specifics of the victory were not provided in the release. The win marks a strong start for Davis in his new organization. Wilkinson, attempting a comeback after a failed drug test and a 2024 semifinal loss, was unable to secure another tournament crown.

In the co-main event, Valentin Moldavsky, a former Bellator interim champion, earned a unanimous decision victory over Sergey Bilostenniy. Bilostenniy, a formidable opponent with an 8-1 record since 2018, proved no match for Moldavsky’s skill.

The card also saw several other notable victories. Antonio Carlos Junior edged out Karl Moore by split decision, while Simeon Powell secured a TKO victory over Karl Albrektsson. Alexandr Romanov submitted Tim Johnson via guillotine choke, and Oleg Popov won a split decision against Karl Williams. Sullivan Cauley defeated last-minute replacement Alex Polizzi via TKO, and Rodrigo Nascimento won a split decision against Abraham Bably.

A late change to the card saw Marcelo Nunes withdraw from his fight with Sullivan Cauley. Alex Polizzi, initially slated for a preliminary bout, stepped in as a replacement.

The PFL 2025 World Tournament continues to unfold, with this event providing exciting matches and setting the stage for the upcoming rounds.
