Professional Fighters League (PFL) returned to action last Thursday (July 11, 2019) in Atlantic City, New Jersey, for Week 4 of its second season. The primary focus was the women’s lightweight class, as well as the men’s welterweight division.
Things didn’t get off to the best start, as Roberta Samad and Zane Kamaka both missed weight, canceling their respective fights against Sarah Kaufman and Andre Fialho, who both earned three points for the forfeit.
Two of the best finishes from Thursday’s line up came from undefeated lightweight Kayla Harrison (5-0) and former UFC welterweight John Howard (28-15-1). The former submitted Morgan Frier with relative ease, while the latter obliterated Ray Cooper III with extreme violence.
