The main card will also include a pair of womenโ€™s flyweight
semifinals: Dakota

and Liz
Carmouche
vs. Taila
Santos
.

Two weeks later, light heavyweights and lightweights will get the
spotlight for
PFL 8
at the Hard Rock Live in Hollywood, Florida. A 205-pound
semifinal between Impa
Kasanganay
and Joshua
Silveira
โ€” which is a rematch of the 2023 PFL final โ€” will
serve as the eveningโ€™s main event, while Rob
Wilkinson
and Dovletdzhan

will lock horns in the co-headliner. Two
lightweight semifinals round out the main draw: Gadzhi
Rabadanov
vs. Michael

The PFL postseason concludes on Aug. 23 at The Anthem in
Washington, D.C., with featherweight and welterweight semifinals.
