Costello Van Steenis shocked the MMA world and Dakota Ditcheva looked as brilliant as ever in PFL's maiden voyage to Cape Town on Saturday.

If he does nothing else, Costello van Steenis will always be remembered for Saturday's fight. Not only did he become PFL middleweight champion, van Steenis (17-3) did so in improbable fashion when he submitted Johnny Eblen with nine seconds left in their five-round bout.

In the main event, Johnny Eblen and Costello van Steenis will square off for the PFL middleweight title. Eblen has a perfect career record of 16-0, while van Steenis has won four of his past five fights. Dakota Ditcheva, who is 14-0 in her career, will clash with Sumiko Inaba in the co-main event.
