Sang Won Kim’s Elbows Overwhelm Bandenay in Sioux Falls
Sang Won Kim defeated Humberto Bandenay by technical knockout at 2:56 of round two on May 2, 2026, at the Sanford Pentagon in Sioux Falls, South Dakota. Their featherweight contest formed part of the PFL card headlined by Logan Storley and Florim Zendeli.
The decisive action
Kim’s ground work helped establish the opening round. Bandenay remained active from his back and tried to create submission opportunities, but Kim maintained effective top positions and used short offense while denying a clean reversal.
The second round briefly gave Bandenay success through attacks to the body. Kim answered by taking the fight down, advancing into a position from which he could land repeated punches and elbows rather than remaining in the standing exchanges.
What the result means
From mount, Kim continued striking as Bandenay tried to move and defend. The damage accumulated until referee Nick Berens intervened, giving the South Korean fighter a stoppage victory before the scheduled third round.
The official PFL result identifies Kim as the winner and records the finish at 2:56. His record improved to 15–6–1, while Bandenay moved to 27–10. The defining sequence was therefore Kim’s sustained offense from above, supported by positional control that prevented his opponent from escaping the attack. Bandenay had moments of his own, but the ground exchanges determined the outcome and supplied the preliminary card with a decisive featherweight finish.
