PFL World Tournament Finals: Edwards vs Rosta Odds, Tips and Predictions

Veteran Craft vs Gym Poster Power

Edwards fights like a man who has solved the puzzle before you have even thrown a jab. Patient, tricky, and lethal in the clinch, his style makes explosive opponents look ordinary. He has been through wars with Johnny Eblen, Mousasi, and Kasanganay, and has come out sharp enough to reach a PFL final.

Rosta is undefeated in 2025. The action figure’s build and solid wrestling base allow for him to dictate terms. He prefers ramming his opponents back-first, headfirst, whatever double legs he can get into the cage to fire off combinations. The judges admire his control. But critics say his schedule has not been elite, but surely you can only beat what is in front of you? And so far, that is everyone.

One man is defined by patience and composure. The other by raw horsepower and relentlessness. It is a stylistic clash that could look like high-level chess, or like Edwards being folded into an advert for creatine.

Dalton Rosta News

Dalton Rosta is never going to outpoint anyone with slick footwork when he is infamously seeking that double leg. It is just not his style, which is not so much of a viewing spectacle, but he’s here fighting for half a million dollars, so do you think he cares? He is built like a tank, and his whole game is about making you feel it. He wants to get up close and personal, lock up in the over/under hook, and eventually drag you down where his strength does every single bit of the talking. We have seen him do it in Bellator against Norbert Novenyi Jr., who had no answers. Sadibou Sy looked completely shut down in Rosta’s PFL debut, and even Aaron Jeffery, who survived, walked away looking like he had just been bullied from thy kingdom come. Rosta does not care if it is pretty, even though we all do. He is there to suffocate you, keep you stuck, and turn fights into an absolute grind for the entirety of the fight, leaving his opponent begging for a moment on the stool. That kind of pressure is not easy to prepare for. 

Prediction: Edwards by Decision

This final comes down to experience versus aesthetics. Fabian Edwards has already survived tougher names and knows how to drag fights into his pace. Dalton Rosta looks the part and hits like a truck, but his record is padded with fighters who fold under pressure.

If Rosta bull-rushes and lands early, he has a shot at a highlight finish. More likely, Edwards stays composed, controls the range, and forces the younger man into mistakes. Expect Edwards to frustrate Hercules over three rounds and take a clear decision.
