The road to a potential $100,000 payday and a possible spot on the 2024 Professional Fighters League roster will begin in earnest for Simeon Powell and Mohamed Amine when they headline PFL Europe 1 on Saturday at Vertu Motors Arena in Newcastle, England. The event features competitors from the light heavyweight and women’s flyweight divisions.
As Powell and Amine move ever closer to their forthcoming clash at 205 pounds, a look at some of the numbers that have accompanied them to this point:
24: Years of age for Powell, who was born in London on Feb. 6, 1999.
2: Powell victories by submission, accounting for 29% of his career total (seven). He employed rear-naked chokes in both instances. Powell owns four other victories by knockout or technical knockout (57%) and one more by decision (14%).
105: Seconds needed for Powell to cut down Mathew Nicholson with a flying knee at a FightStar Championship show on Dec. 18, 2021. More than a year later, it remains his fastest finish to date.
5: Organizations for which Powell has plied his mixed martial arts trade. In addition to his 3-0 mark in the PFL, he has gone 1-0 in FightStar Championship, 1-0 in Almighty Fighting Championship, 1-0 in Contenders and 1-0 in Caged Steel.
.396: Cumulative winning percentage between the seven opponents—Fagundes, Nicholson, Clinton Williams, Tobias Baker, Mustapha Mohammed, Ben Reeve and Robbie Kennedy—Powell has defeated. They possess a combined record of 23-35.
26: Years of age for Amine, who was born on Dec. 3, 1996 in Amsterdam.
3: Amine wins by knockout or technical knockout, accounting for 75% of his career total (four). His complete list of victims: Stanislav Romanov, Adnan Alcic and Dominik Dankowski.
25: Minutes required for Amine to outpoint Leo Pla to a unanimous decision across five rounds under the Fight Club Den Haag banner on Dec. 4, 2021. The performance brought with it the Netherlands-based company’s intercontinental championship.
8: Rounds completed by Amine as a professional mixed martial artist. He has gone the distance on one occasion and managed to get his hand raised while doing so.
32: Combined victories between the four opponents—Romanov, Alic, Dankowski and Pla—Amine has beaten. They sport a cumulative .348 winning percentage at 32-60.
