There’s a new entrant at welterweight for the
Professional Fighters League regular season.

Bellator
MMA staple Brennan
Ward will replace Kyle
Crutchmer and face Don Madge in a
170-pound bout at
PFL 3 on April 19. The organization announced the change on
Sunday. A reason for Crutchmer’s withdrawal from the event was not
given. Ward is now expected to take part in the entirety of PFL’s
season format.

PFL 3 takes place at Wintrust Arena in Chicago and features
welterweight and featherweight athletes. The card is headlined by a
clash between ex-Bellator champ Andrey
Koreshkov and undefeated Bellator veteran Magomed
Umalatov.

The 35-year-old Ward has competed under the Bellator banner since
2012, compiling a 12-7 record within the promotion. In his last
outing, the Waterford, Connecticut, native had a three-bout winning
streak snapped a second-round TKO loss to Logan
Storley this past August. Ward owns a 17-7 career mark, with
all but one of his triumphs coming inside the distance.

South Africa’s Madge will be competing for the first time since
April 2022, when he suffered a third-round TKO loss to Raush
Manfio at a PFL regular season event.
