Manoel Sousa showcased his dominance with what could easily be labeled as the most electrifying knockout of the weekend.
Stepping into the SSE Arena for the main card opener of Bellator Belfast, Sousa faced off against the resilient Tim Wilde. In what marked the first standalone Bellator event under the PFL banner, anticipation was high.
Initially challenged by Wilde’s agility and evasive maneuvers, Sousa patiently closed the distance, biding his time for the opportune moment. As the opening round drew to a close, Sousa unleashed a thunderous left hand, sending Wilde crashing to the canvas in a spectacular display of force.

Manoel Sousa Knocks Out Tim Wilde
With this victory, Sousa, who previously secured a split decision win on the PFL Challenger Series over a year ago, elevates his professional record to an impeccable 11-0, securing his seventh knockout triumph.
Wilde, whose undefeated streak spanned six fights, saw his run halted. His previous triumph, a third-round knockout of Mike Hamel at Bellator 301 in November, now sits in the shadow of Sousa’s formidable performance.
