Sean Gauci picked up a dominant victory over Allan Begosso at PFL New York on July 31, 2026, earning a unanimous decision with all three judges returning identical 30-27 scorecards.
Gauci, a 29-year-old Australian fighting out of Ignite Martial Arts Academy, improved his professional record to 10-1-0 with the win. The switch-stance fighter stands five-foot-five with a 64-inch reach and has built a reputation as a high-volume striker, landing an impressive 5.07 significant strikes per minute at a 59 percent accuracy rate. He also adds a consistent grappling threat, averaging four takedowns per 15 minutes.
Begosso, nicknamed "Mini," entered the bout at 7-2-1 and came in representing Team Alpha Male out of Brazil. The 30-year-old orthodox fighter shares the same five-foot-five height as Gauci but carries a slightly longer 66-inch reach. His game leans heavily on submission grappling, with two submission attempts per 15 minutes, though he averages no takedowns and lands 1.8 significant strikes per minute at 40 percent accuracy.
Why it matters
- The lopsided 30-27 scores across all three judges suggest Gauci controlled large portions of each round, adding a convincing performance to an already strong 10-1 record.
- Begosso's submission-based approach found no traction against Gauci, whose takedown volume likely kept the Brazilian from establishing his preferred ground game.
- The bout appeared on a card headlined by Nurmagomedov vs. Colgan, giving Gauci meaningful exposure on a high-profile PFL event in New York.
