Even admitting surprise with his victory over Rory macdonald in PFL 5 last Thursday (17), Gleison Tibau doesn't think the Canadian won clearly. The Brazilian fighter stated that he was much more effective during the fight and promised to knock out the 'Red King' in the event of a rematch.

“Seeing the fight, I can’t give him the victory. It wasn't an easy fight, we know it was difficult, but I was much more effective with my strikes, hunting him down. He was running away a little. I don’t think it could have been a different result”, declared the Brazilian athlete.
To avoid any doubts again, in the event of a new fight, the Brazilian promised to knock out the Canadian and stated that if the fight had been five rounds, he would have performed better.
“Next time I'll knock him out. I already know the way. I felt like I could have done it. He wouldn't have handled the pressure if we were in a five-round fight. He already wanted the fight to end. I felt that”, concluded the fighter from Rio Grande do Norte.
Despite the triumph over the Canadian, Tibau was unable to qualify for the semi-finals of the welterweight (under 77,1kg) tournament. The Brazilian now has a record of 1 win and 1 loss during his time in the PFL. In professional MMA, the 37-year-old fighter achieved 35 positive results and only 15 negative results.
