The event, which was broadcast live on the ESPN app, saw a raucous crowd in Madrid witness the kind of clinical dismantling that fans have come to expect from top-tier talent. As the PFL season continues, all eyes will be on Pereira to see if he can maintain this momentum and continue his ascent toward a championship run.
