Denis Goltsov
In the semifinals of the 2023 playoff season, Denis Goltsov delivered a first-round submission of American Jordan Heirderman in a dominant display to claim a place in the final for the first time in his PFL career. Fighting out of St. Petersburg, Russia, the grappler was the first PFL fighter to submit an opponent via Ezekiel choke. In 2021, Goltsov got to the playoff semifinal but missed out last year due to visa issues. The 33-year-old, who is 3-0 in the PFL this season, was a two-time combat samba world champion.
