its April 1 offering, as every fighter on the card will be making

Brewington, who takes a four-bout amateur winning streak into
his pro debut.

Orlando, Fla., and airs exclusively on FuboTV at 9 p.m. ET/6 p.m.

receive a contract to compete in the 2022 PFL season or a
developmental deal with the promotion.
