“We can’t wait to come back to Newcastle on June 8, where PFL
Europe officially launched in 2023. Our bantamweight and women’s
flyweight rosters are packed with quality and represent the best
that the elite European MMA scene has to offer, and with the
regular Season format all of these fighters know what’s at the end
of the line: the European title, $100,000 and a pathway to our
global season,” said Dan Hardy,
head of fighter operations for PFL Europe.

“But it wouldn’t be a PFL Europe event without a stacked evening of
showcase bouts, and we have a great selection of future stars,
simmering tensions and a local hero in Savannah Marshall making her
MMA debut.”
