“This is redemption for both fighters because they both are coming off key losses, but they both know what’s at stake,” said PFL CEO John Martin. “A win puts them right back in the conversation at the very top of our stacked middleweight division. We’re gonna be making further fight announcements coming up, but this is gonna be a fun card.”
