Rory
MacDonald is set to return to the
Professional Fighters League cage as the welterweight and light
heavyweight season continues.

19 fighters on the
PFL 5 card made their contracted weights with only Ray Cooper
III coming in heavy for his welterweight bout against Nikolay
Aleksakhin. As a result of missing weight, Cooper III has been
docked a point and his opponent has automatically been given three
points for tomorrow’s bout (with the ability to gain more by
finishing his opponent). The event is headlined by MacDonald facing
fellow
Ultimate Fighting Championship vet Gleison
Tibau. “Red King” looked great in his promotional debut by
choking out Curtis
Millender in under four minutes, while Tibau lost a decision to
Joao
Zeferino.

The PFL 5 main card will air live on ESPN2 at 9 p.m. ET/6 p.m. PT.
Prior to that, the preliminary card can be streamed on ESPN+
starting at 5:30 p.m. ET/2:30 p.m. PT.
