landscape is virtually unrecognizable when compared to its
iteration a few months ago. The PFL sent out a press release on Thursday to announce a series
of changes in its upcoming
PFL 6 card on June 25 at the Ocean Casino Resort in Atlantic
City, N.J. The conclusion of the regular season will feature
fighters in four weight categories, but it will primarily be
stocked with heavyweight and women’s lightweight matchups.
The promotion’s changes to this card start with the loss of 2019
heavyweight champ Ali Isaev,
who has not been medically cleared for competition. Adding to the
recent removal of Fabricio
Werdum from the bracket and a few other shakeups, four men will
be joining the heaviest section of the tournament: Chandler
Cole, Stuart
Austin, Klidson
Abreu and Jamelle
Jones. Cole will be taking on Ante Delija,
while Austin squares off with Renan
Ferreira. Abreu and Jones will face one another.
In addition to these bouts at the 266-pound limit, pivotal
lightweight and featherweight matchups have been confirmed after
previous announcements. Anthony
Pettis will meet Raush
Manfio, while two-time former PFL champ Lance
Palmer will come to blows with Movlid
Khaybulaev. Both of those bouts will serve on the main card,
below the women’s lightweight headliner of Kayla
Harrison vs. Cindy
Dandois.
The PFL 6: 2021 Regular Season main card will go down on June 25 on
ESPN 2 and ESPN+ at 9 p.m. ET/6 p.m. PT. The eight-fight prelim
package kicks off at 6 p.m. ET/3 p.m. PT only on ESPN+ in the
U.S.
