The PFL is making good on its plan to maximize the Bellator merger, and that means the 2024 regular season has some heavy hitters.
PFL has announced three dates and locations for the upcoming season. The regular season begins on April 4 inside the Boeing Center in San Antonio, Texas. That event will feature the likes of Bellator Women’s Flyweight Champion Liz Carmouche, 2023 PFL Europe Champion Dakota Ditcheva, Ante Delija, and Valentin Moldavsky.
So, how about the other regular season events?
Impa Kasanganay, the 2023 PFL Light Heavyweight Champion, will be featured on the April 12 show inside The Theater at Virgin Hotels in Las Vegas. Also set for the event will be PFL Europe Light Heavyweight Champion Jakub Nedoh, ex-Bellator Light Heavyweight Champion Phil Davis, former lightweight titleholder under Bellator Patricky “Pitbull” Freire, and Clay Collard.
Finally, the April 19 event will be held inside the Wintrust Arena in Chicago, Illinois. “Prince” Magomed Umalatov will be competing on this show, as well as ex-Bellator Welterweight Champion in Andrey Koreshkov. Jesus Pinedo won the 2023 PFL Featherweight Championship, and he’ll look to make a splash once again in this year’s regular season. Also featured on this show will be Timur Khizriev.
PFL MMA CEO Peter Murray issued a statement expressing excitement for the new regular season dates, along with the addition of Bellator champions.
“The toughest test in MMA, The PFL Regular Season, just got tougher with the addition of stars from Bellator,” Murray said.
“The PFL is excited to kick off the 2024 Regular Season in front of our great fans in San Antonio, Las Vegas and Chicago. This promises to be the biggest Regular Season in history, with the PFL heading to ten top markets around the country and distribution to 160 countries around the world.”
