Background

edit

Kayla Harrison, a two-time Olympic gold medalist in judo and seeking her third PFL championship, headlined the PFL event opposite Larissa Pacheco, who previously faced Harrison in two other title bouts, losing both by unanimous decision. The event also featured five other finals matchups, with the winner of each weight class taking home PFL's trademark $1 million dollar prize.[3]

The five other championship bouts included a welterweight bout between Sadibou Sy and Dilano Taylor, Brendan Loughnane versus Bellator vet Bubba Jenkins at featherweight, a heavyweight bout between Ante Delija and Matheus Scheffel, UFC vets Rob Wilkinson and Omari Akhmedov at light heavyweight, and another pair of UFC vets in Stevie Ray and Olivier Aubin-Mercier at lightweight.[2]

The event was to feature the PFL debuts of Shane Burgos and former WSOF Bantamweight Champion Marlon Moraes, facing off in a featherweight bout.[4] However, Burgos withdrew from the bout due to an injury.[6] He was replaced by Sheymon Moraes.[7]
