Former Bellator MMA lightweight king Will Brooks will lock horns with Luiz Firmino in the Professional Fighters League 2 main event on June 21 in Chicago.
The recently rebranded promotion confirmed the matchup on Wednesday. Additionally, Olympic judo gold medalist will make her MMA debut against an as-yet-to-be announced opponent. PFL 2 takes place at Chicago Theater. The evening’s four main card bouts will air on NBC Sports Network, while the opening nine preliminary contests will stream via Facebook.
