The Professional Fighters League’s second event of 2023 will help to officially usher in a new weight class to its season format this Friday inside The Theater at Virgin Hotels in Las Vegas.
While the women’s featherweight division is a new addition, Larissa Pacheco will be a familiar favorite in the field. Fresh off her massive upset of Kayla Harrison in the 2022 women’s lightweight final, Pacheco returns to 145 pounds for a showdown against former Bellator MMA champion Julia Budd in the PFL 2 main event. Meanwhile, the race at heavyweight appears to be wide open following the exit of defending champion Ante Delija from the PFL 2 card.
