Professional Fighters League has unveiled full fight cards for
each of its first three regular season events.

The lineups will feature some familiar faces โ€” and plenty of new
ones โ€” on the heels of the companyโ€™s purchase of Bellator
MMA last year. PFL announced the events in a release on
Monday.

โ€œThe Professional Fighters League is excited to return to regular
season action this April with three hard-hitting and crowd-pleasing
events,โ€ said PFL CEO Peter Murray in a release. โ€œThe PFLโ€™s
extensive roster of world-class fighters, which now includes
Bellator stars, means the toughest test in MMA, the PFL regular
season, just got tougher.โ€ 


PFL 1 is headlined by a heavyweight clash pitting 2022 champion
Ante
Delija against former Bellator title challenger Valentin
Moldavsky. The event takes place on April 4 at the Boeing
Center in San Antonio and will also see 2023 heavyweight finalist
Denis Golstov meet Bellator veteran Linton
Vassell in the co-main event. Also noteworthy is a trilogy bout
between flyweights Liz
Carmouche and Juliana
Velasquez, who twice met in title fights under the Bellator
banner. The main card airs at 10 p.m. ET/7 p.m. ET on ESPN2 and
ESPN+, while prelims begin at 6 p.m. ET/3 p.m. PT on ESPN+.

Meanwhile,
PFL 2 takes place on April 12 at The Theater at Virgin Hotels
in Las Vegas and is topped by a light heavyweight duel between
ex-Bellator king Phil Davis
and 2022 PFL 205-pound champ Rob
Wilkinson. In the co-headliner, 2023 PFL light heavyweight
champ Impa
Kasanganay will lock horns with Bellator veteran Alex
Polizzi. The main draw will also include a lightweight showdown
pitting former Bellator title holder Patricky
Freire against 2023 PFL finalist Clay
Collard. The main card airs at 9 p.m. ET/6 p.m. PT on ESPN2 and
ESPN+, while prelims stream at 6 p.m. ET/3 p.m PT on ESPN+.

Finally,
PFL 3 will be held on April 19 at the Wintrust Arena in Chicago
and features a welterweight clash between former Bellator champ
Andrey Koreshov and undefeated PFL talent Magomed
Umalatov. In the co-main event, 2022 PFL featherweight champ
Brendan
Loughnane will square off against former Belleator grand prix
competitor Pedro
Carvalho. The main card airs on ESPN and ESPN+ at 10 p.m. ET/7
p.m. PT, while prelims stream on ESPN+ at 6:30 p.m. ET/3:30 PT.
