Irishmen are set to be on full display when the Professional Fighters League kicks off its 2025 campaign with PFL Champions Series 1, and John Mitchell figures to draw his share of interest from onlookers.
The 29-year-old 971 MMA and Fitness Academy rep will take on Souhil Tairi in a three-round lightweight prelim this Saturday at Coca-Cola Arena in Dubai, United Arab Emirates. There, Mitchell hopes to build on a 2-1 start with the PFL while joining Paul Hughes and Nathan Kelly as part of the next wave of Irish talent to hit the company’s global stage.
