PFL San Diego produced a night of highlights on June 28, with multiple finishes and dominant decisions across the card. Headliners AJ McKee and Liz Carmouche both picked up wins, joined by Alexander Shabliy, Rob Wilkinson, Hasan Magomedsharpov, and several others in a result-heavy evening.
Liz Carmouche, the 42-year-old American veteran training out of The Arena, earned one of the night's most notable victories, submitting Viviane Araujo with a guillotine choke in round two. Carmouche carries a 13-7-0 record and brings a measured, well-rounded game, landing significant strikes at a rate of 2.78 per minute with 54 percent accuracy and averaging 2.57 takedowns per 15 minutes. The finish adds another submission to a career already defined by grappling savvy.
Araujo, nicknamed "Vivi," entered the bout ranked eighth in the women's flyweight division. The 39-year-old Brazilian out of Cerrado MMA holds the same 13-7-0 record as her opponent and had been an active striker, averaging 3.84 significant strikes per minute. The submission loss marks a difficult setback for a fighter still positioning herself in a competitive division.
Elsewhere on the card, Hasan Magomedsharpov tapped out Joshua Weems with an arm-triangle choke in round one. Weems, a 32-year-old American with an 11-3-0 record, had entered the fight as a notable offensive threat, connecting at 64 percent striking accuracy and averaging an impressive 5.25 significant strikes per minute. Despite that output, he was unable to survive on the ground.
