Professional Fighters League‘s Challenger Series continues
trucking along with
PFL Challenger Series 4, which highlights several featherweight
prospects.
Both main eventers successfully made weight for the four-fight
card, as Reinaldo
Ekson and Mike
Barnett stepped on the scale weighing 145.8 pounds each. Most
of the rest of the card followed suit, along with alternate
Edward
Massey making weight. However, Do Gyeom
Lee failed to hit the featherweight cap, coming in heavy at
148.6 pounds.
Ekson (17-5) is riding a three-fight win streak and has won six of
his last seven bouts. The Brazilian most recently submitted three
straight opponents in EFC
Global, and posts seven submission wins throughout his
career.
Barnett holds a 10-3 record and successfully bounced back from the
third loss of his career in his last outing by knocking out
Clarence
Brown. Just 3-2 in his last five bouts, “Iron” will look to
rise to the occasion in the biggest fight of his career. The
32-year-old from Barstow, Calif., comes into this contest with a
knockout rate of 70%, and he has never been stopped with
strikes.
PFL Challenger Series 4 streams live to FuboTV on Friday at 9 p.m.
ET/6 p.m. PT.
