Dayron Preserved His Unbeaten Record Against Thrall
Lazaro Dayron defeated Jacob Thrall by unanimous decision on March 28, 2026, at PFL Pittsburgh. Scores of 30–27, 29–28 and 30–27 gave the unbeaten bantamweight the victory after three rounds at UPMC Events Center in Pennsylvania.
The matchup and early action
Dayron entered with nine victories and one draw, while Thrall brought a record of fifteen wins, seven defeats and a draw. Their meeting offered the newcomer an immediate test against an opponent who had yet to lose professionally.
The fight reached its full fifteen-minute distance, distinguishing it from the rapid finishes elsewhere on the program. Three judges therefore assessed the action round by round rather than a referee recording a stoppage.
The decisive developments
Two officials awarded Dayron every round. The third gave Thrall one, but still preferred Dayron by two rounds to one, producing unanimous agreement on the overall winner.
The outcome moved Dayron to 10–0–1 and Thrall to 15–8–1. It preserved the winner’s unbeaten record while giving Thrall a decision defeat in his first PFL appearance.
What the result meant
Elsewhere on the main card, Alexei Pergande also won unanimously against Julio Arce. Ariane Lipski da Silva took a unanimous verdict over Sumiko Inaba, while Johnny Eblen and Impa Kasanganay finished their opponents in the first round.
Dayron’s result belonged to the event’s group of full-distance victories. The differing round totals showed some competitiveness within the contest, but all three judges ultimately agreed that his performance had earned the win.
