The lineups for the first two
Professional Fighters League Challengers Series events are now
official.
Promotion officials announced the matchups for the cards on Monday.
The first Challenger Series event features light heavyweights on
Feb. 18 and is headlined by a clash between two-division Legacy
Fighting Alliance champion Joshua
Silveira and Mohamed
Juma.
The remaining 205-pound pairings are as follows: Alexander
Poppeck vs. Taylor
Johnson; Joao Paulo
Fagundes vs. Bruce Souto
and Simeon
Powell vs. Karl
Williams.
Meanwhile, the following week will highlight welterweight athletes
with a card topped by a showdown between Brave Combat Federation
champion Jarrah
Al-Silawi and Michael
Lilly. Additional matchups for the Feb. 25 card include:
Dilano
Taylor vs. Mark
Martin; Carlos
Leal Miranda vs. Socrates
Pierre and Lucas
Barbosa vs. Troy
Green.
The PFL Challenger Series allows fighters to earn a PFL contract
and the opportunity to compete in the promotion’s season format.
The cards will be held at Universal Studios in Orlando, Fla. and
air exclusively on Fubo Sports Network.
“It has been a great experience for myself and our team as we went
in search of the best fighters from all over the world,” said PFL
president of fighter operations Ray Sefo. “We
are proud of the roster of elite fighters that will be on display
starting Feb. 18 when our light heavyweights step into the cage. I
am very excited to see these amazing athletes square off for this
life-changing opportunity. And then we’re going to do it all over
again, one week later, with the welterweights.”
