The PFL introduced the eight featherweights slated to compete for $500,000, together with two different fighters trying to step in if wanted.
Previous featherweight season winners Jesus Pinedo and Movlid Khaybulaev will probably be joined by Gabriel Braga, previous Bellator title challengers Adam Borics and Jeremy Kennedy, together with Nathan Kelly, Yves Landu, and Courageous CF and UAE Warriors veteran Tae Kyun Kim.
New England standout Nathan Ghareeb (10-3) and Canada’s Frederick Dupas (8-1) will function alternates.
The match is about to start out on April 3 at Common Studios in Orlando, Fla., with the winner receiving a $500,000 prize along with 2025 champion standing.
Pinedo returns to the PFL cage for the primary time since profitable the 2023 PFL featherweight season. The 28-year-old was slated to face Patricio Pitbull at PFL vs. Bellator a 12 months in the past earlier than withdrawing because of harm, and was then booked towards Jeremy Kennedy on the 2024 World Championship card in November earlier than badly lacking weight, resulting in the bout being cancelled.
