Saturday’s PFL 10 is now official, as the playoff field has made weight without issues Friday in Washington D.C.
It’s a card loaded with Ultimate Fighting Championship veterans, from Jake Shields to Rick Story. Shields is set to rematch Ray Cooper III, who battered him en route to a second round TKO in July.
Since the Shields victory, Cooper III (15-5) has since gone on to score an 18-second knockout of Pavlo Kusch. Elsewhere on the card, Story takes on Handesson Ferreira and John Howard fights Eddie Gordon.
PFL 10 will feature the semi-final round bouts for the 2018 welterweight and middleweight playoffs, under the tournament-like structure of the organization.
“This is it, we’re almost set for the 2018 Championship,” said Ray Sefo, PFL President of Fighting Operations. “All 12 fighters who make the finals will have had to win two fights in one night to get there. It is a true test of these guys hearts and now they get to fight for $1 million and the PFL title.”
PFL 10 airs live on Saturday from Washington D.C.
