The stage is set for the
Professional Fighters League‘s first event of 2023, which is a
Challenger Series show focused on welterweight hopefuls.
Main event fighters Lucas
Barbosa and Itso
Babulaidze had no issue making weight, with Babulaidze (2-0)
looking to stay undefeated against the 2-1 jiu-jitsu specialist.
However, there was one last-minute change to the four-fight card,
as Mostafa
Rashed Neda was replaced by Kendly St.
Louis. Due to the late-notice swap, St. Louis vs. Nick Alley
transformed into a 175-pound catchweight contest rather than at
welterweight as previously booked.
