The
Professional Fighters League‘s debut pay-per-view is set as all
fighters made weight for the
2022 PFL Championships.
The card features six championship bouts that will serve as the
conclusion of the 2022 season. However, a familiar face is in the
main event as Kayla
Harrison will look to win her third women’s lightweight title
in the promotion as she once again faces Larissa
Pacheco. Other title fights include Brendan
Loughnane going up against collegiate wrestling standout
Bubba
Jenkins at featherweight, Ante Delija
vs. Matheus
Scheffel at heavyweight, Steven Ray
against Olivier
Aubin-Mercier at lightweight, Dilano
Taylor clashing with Sadibou Sy
at welterweight and Omari
Akhmedov taking on Rob
Wilkinson at light heavyweight.
While Pacheco sports an impressive 18-4 mixed martial arts record,
two of her losses have come to Harrison (15-0). Both fights
occurred in 2019, though, as Harrison defeated Pacheco once in the
regular season and then again in the 2019 championship bout. Both
wins came via unanimous decision, so the rematch gives Harrison a
chance to get a stoppage and Pacheco an opportunity at revenge. The
American judo Olympian and the Brazilian both weighed an identical
154.2 pounds.
The 2022 PFL Championships will stream on ESPN+ on Friday. The
prelims begin at 5:30 p.m. ET/2:30 p.m. PT, while the main card
pay-per-view starts at 8 p.m. ET/5 p.m. PT.
