PFL announces some big fights that will take place on the first three events of this year’s regular season. All three events will take place at NYCB Live on Long Island, N.Y.
Back in February, the Professional Fighters League announced a multi-year broadcast deal with ESPN. Their events will now air on ESPN, ESPN2, and ESPN+. Also, PFL has struck a similar deal with TSN to air their cards in Canada.
Two-time Olympic judo gold medalist Kayla Harrison takes on Russian born Svetlana Khautova in the main event of PFL 1. For PFL 2, defending 2018 PFL featherweight champion Lance Palmer takes on Alex Gilpin in the main event.
Finally, for PFL 3, the return of defending heavyweight champion Philipe Lins will see him take on former Bellator and RIZIN veteran Satoshi Ishii. You can check out the full cards here:
