# PFL Madrid: Van Steenis vs. Edwards 2 – Full Results and Highlights
**MADRID, Spain** – The Professional Fighters League made a thunderous return to the Spanish capital tonight, packing the Palacio Vistalegre with an electric crowd hungry for world-class MMA. Headlining the card was a high-stakes middleweight championship clash that pitted reigning king Costello van Steenis against his long-time rival, Fabian Edwards.
### The Main Event: A Title Defense Reimagined The atmosphere in Madrid reached a fever pitch as Costello van Steenis stepped into the SmartCage to defend his 185-pound gold for the first time since his legendary buzzer-beating submission victory over Johnny Eblen at PFL Africa 1.
Standing across from him was Fabian Edwards, a fighter who entered the cage with significant momentum. Riding a three-fight win streak that included brutal highlight-reel finishes over Impa Kasanganay and Dalton Rosta, Edwards was looking to avenge a split-decision loss to van Steenis dating back nearly six years to their days under the Bellator banner.
### Co-Main Event and Undercard Action Before the title fight, the co-main event provided fireworks in the featherweight division. Former Bellator titleholder A.J. McKee looked to solidify his position at the top of the food chain as he took on the promotion’s fourth-ranked contender, Adam Borics.
The card also featured a high-stakes strawweight encounter that promised technical brilliance, with Aussie standout Jacinta Austin taking on the formidable submission specialist Benita van Rooij.
### Standout Moments The night was defined by explosive performances across the board. Among the early highlights that captured the attention of the global fanbase was a display of sheer dominance from Luciano Pereira. Pereira secured a victory with absolute authority, reminding spectators exactly why the PFL remains the premier proving ground for the world's toughest athletes.
