In an off week from the UFC, the PFL continues the early portion of its season with the opening round for the welterweights and featherweights. Undefeated Russian Magomed Umalatov headlines the event against fellow undefeated contender and Bellator veteran Andrey Koreshkov.
Of the 12-fight card, only four fighters will be returning from last year's PFL season tournaments and 12 former Bellator fighters will be making their debut in the smart cage. In the welterweight division, Umalatov is the only fighter who competed in the 2023 PFL season while Brendan Loughnane, Bubba Jenkins, and Gabriel Braga all return to the 145-pound weight class.
