Jay Jay Wilson hadn’t been in the cage officially in more than 18 months, and hadn’t yet fought for the PFL, but his result was what he expected.

Wilson (11-1) beat Mads Burnell (20-7) with a third-round TKO this past Friday in the lightweight tournament. He moved on to a semifinal matchup against Gadzhi Rabadanov in late June – which is perfect for him, given Rabadanov is responsible for the only loss on Wilson’s record more than three years ago at Bellator 276.

Wilson spoke to the media following his win at 2025 PFL World Tournament 3, which took place at Universal Studios in Orlando, Fla.
