2024 PFL 5 Video: Brent Primus pulls off Solomon Renfro’s last-minute flurry

Former Bellator lightweight champion Brent Primus, after all these years, still has what it takes to put an end to fights the distance.

On Thursday at the 2024 PFL 5 in Salt Lake City, Primus (14-3) clinched a playoff spot when he submitted Solomon Renfro (11-6) at 3:21 of Round 3. The finish ended a two- returned during which both men had their moments.

Primus was stunned at the start of the fight. While he looked uncomfortable in the early minutes, he found his stride as the fight wore on. After a takedown in the 3rd round, Primus was finally able to work his way to a rear choke, which he locked up with less than two minutes remaining.

Primus, 39, moves to 3-0 with one run in his last four outings. He also won his PFL debut by empty-back choke in his previous outing when he submitted Bruno Miranda.

Renfro, 27, continues his string of close fights with unsuccessful results. He is 1-3 in the PFL with losses to Magomed Magomedkerimov, Gadzhi Rabadanov and now Primus.
