It’s full speed ahead for Week 2 of the Professional Fighters
League regular season, as every heavyweight and featherweight set
to compete made weight on Wednesday.

That includes defending heavyweight champ Bruno
Henrique Cappelozza, who tipped the scales at 235 pounds for a
featured showdown against Stuart
Austin (245.8). There was one late change to the card, with
Cody
Goodale (253.2) stepping in on short notice to face Denis
Goltsov (247.4) in a heavyweight tilt that was only recently
elevated to the evening’s main card.
PFL 2 takes place at Esports Stadium Arlington in Arlington,
Texas on Thursday night. The main card airs on ESPN2 and ESPN+
beginning at 9 p.m. ET/6 p.m. PT, while prelims stream on ESPN+
beginning at 6:30 p.m. ET/3:30 p.m. PT.
After nearly three years away from the sport following a knockout
loss to Jiri
Prochazka at Rizin 11, Cappelozza went 4-0 in 2021 to capture
the PFL heavyweight crown. He capped off his run with an
entertaining five-round verdict over Ante Delija
at the PFL championships last October.
A veteran of Bellator and British Association of Mixed Martial
Arts, Austin is coming off a 31-second KO loss to Renan
Ferreira in his PFL debut. That snapped a two-bout winning
streak for the Team Titan product, who is 15-7 over the course of
his professional tenure.
