Valentin Moldavsky looks to have been recalibrated—a troubling development for the rest of the Professional Fighters League heavyweight division.
The two-time World Sambo Championships gold medalist will rematch Linton Vassell for a second time in the PFL 4 headliner this Thursday at the Mohegan Sun Arena in Uncasville, Connecticut. They have faced one another on two previous occasions, with Moldavsky outdueling the Brit to a unanimous decision at Bellator 218 in March 2019 and Vassell answering with a first-round knockout at Bellator 292 some four years later. Now, they meet for a third time, with undeniably high stakes in play.
