Headlining the eight-fight mixed martial arts event is the title
fight between welterweight king Thad Jean and
late-notice challenger Ernesto
Rodriguez. Both men made weight for the fight, which came
together after would-be challenger Shamil
Musaev bowed out due to weight-cutting issues. All other
fighters on the card also successfully made weight.

The undefeated Jean has a perfect 11-0 record as a pro. Just 28, „Silverback“ already has seven wins inside the promotion. The
American most recently beat Logan
Storley by decision to claim the welterweight title. Jean
officially weighed 169.2 pounds for his first title defense.

Looking to make the most out of his unexpected title shot is
Rodriguez (11-1). Also 28, the Xtreme Couture product is
challenging for the belt in just his second fight for the PFL. „Starboy“ won a majority decision over Masayuki
Kikuiri earlier this year. The Cuban fighter weighed 169.8
pounds for the biggest fight of his career.

The PFL DC card will air live on ESPN. The main card airs at 10
p.m. ET/7 p.m. PT, while the prelims start at 8 p.m. ET/5 p.m. PT
on the ESPN app.
