A Middleweight
World Title Fight headlines PFL Madrid: Tune in LIVE, Friday, March
20 at 12 p.m. ET. The
Professional Fighters League’s middleweight championship will
be on the line tomorrow, as the
PFL Madrid card is now official following the weigh-ins.

The 11-fight card will be headlined by middleweight champion
Costello
van Steenis, looking to defend his belt against Fabian
Edwards. Both men successfully made weight for the five-round
fight. Two competitors came in heavy for the PFL’s first European
event of 2026: Kevin
Cordero (136.6), who clocked in .6 pounds above the
bantamweight limit ahead of his match with Luciano
Pereira (134.5); and Mathys
Duragrin (146.5), who eclipsed the featherweight cap by half a
pound before facing Nacho
Campos (146). It is currently unclear as to whether the heavy
athletes will be fined, or if their bouts are in jeopardy.

Van Steenis (17-3) previously beat Edwards by split decision in
2020. Since their first fight, „The Spaniard‘ has gone 4-1 and
submitted Johnny
Eblen to capture the PFL title. Van Steenis officially weighed
184.7 pounds for the fight.

Meanwhile, Edwards (16-4) is looking to avenge his previous defeat. „The Assassin“ has won three fights in a row and is coming off a
head kick KO of Dalton
Rosta. Two losses to Eblen are the only blemishes on his record
since 2022. The 32-year-old English fighter also weighed 184.7
pounds.

PFL Madrid will air live on ESPN+ on Friday starting at 1 p.m.
ET/10 a.m. PT.
