The last pair of Professional Fighters League finals participants will be determined on Saturday as the women’s lightweight and men’s featherweight semifinals take place at PFL 9 on Saturday at Copperbox Arena in London, England.
The PFL saved its best for last, in terms of competitive dominance as well as promotional efforts, as returning lightweight winner Kayla Harrison will face Martina Jindrova for the right to try and repeat as champ. The other lightweight semi features 2021 runner-up Larissa Pacheco taking on Helena Kolesnyk. The men’s featherweight final will include the winners of Ryoji Kudo vs. Bubba Jenkins; and three-time playoff qualifier Chris Wade vs. Brendan Loughnane, who should receive a warm welcome from the London crowd. PFL 9 will also see the unveiling of a new division, as Dakota Ditcheva and Hassna Gaber square off in the promotion’s first-ever women’s flyweight matchup.
