The second half of the Professional Fighters League (PFL) 2023 season returns TONIGHT (Thurs., June 8, 2023) from inside Overtime Elite Arena in Atlanta, Ga., with the Light Heavyweights and Featherweights taking the cage in hopes of winning $1 million at the end of the season later this year. For most fighters, it is win or go home.
In the main event, Brendan Loughnane — PFL’s 2022 Featherweight champion — takes on Jesus Pinedo, while in the co-main, Movlid Khaybulaev — PFL’s 2021 Featherweight champion — locks horns with Tyler Diamond.
