Some Brazilian names have been added to the 2019 season of the Professional Fighters League, multiple sources told MMA Fighting.
The upcoming season of the North American company will include lightweights Ronys Torres and Carlos Eduardo Silva and welterweight Glaico Franca. Freddy Assuncao, who was expected to fight for PFL in 2018, will finally make his debut this year as a featherweight.
UFC veteran Torres (37-6) last fought in August, when he claimed the Shooto Brazil 160-pound championship with a submission victory over Bruno Rodrigues. It was his return to Brazilian soil after making it to the Road FC million-dollar lightweight tournament semifinal in 2018.
